title: File paths in Java (Linux)
body: <p>I have created a Java application that loads some configurations from a file <code>conf.properties</code> which is placed in <code>src/</code> folder.</p>
  
  <p>When I run this application on Windows, it works perfectly. However when I try to run it on Linux, it throws this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.io.FileNotFoundException: src/conf.properties (No such file or directory)
  </code></pre>
