I found the following for populating a Properties object from a file which is in the CLASSPATH


InputStream inputStream = null;
try {
        String filename = "xyz_properties";
        inputStream = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(filename);
        if(inputStream == null) {
                Exception e = new Exception("Trouble finding " + filename + " is it in the CLASSPATH ?");
                throw(e);
        }
        properties = new Properties();
        properties.load(inputStream);
        inputStream.close();
}
