How is it possible to navigate to wav.file in src (for playing sound in java)

Question

I've looked at different solutions at Stackoverflow to play a sound in Java. The example given below (from another topic) is the one I would like to use.

import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
import javax.swing.*;

// To play sound using Clip, the process need to be alive.
// Hence, we use a Swing application.
public class SoundClipTest extends JFrame {

   public SoundClipTest() {
      this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      this.setTitle("Test Sound Clip");
      this.setSize(300, 200);
      this.setVisible(true);

      try {
         // Open an audio input stream.
         URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("gameover.wav");
         AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url);
         // Get a sound clip resource.
         Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
         // Open audio clip and load samples from the audio input stream.
         clip.open(audioIn);
         clip.start();
      } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      new SoundClipTest();
   }
}

But how is it possible to get the file from src folder (it's already in my src)? Or is there another code solution to play a .wav file from src/... folder?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This code

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(...) 

will fetch a resource relative to where classes are lodaed from. The runtime doesn't know anything about sources. If you move your file to compiled classes folder, this should work.
