Hello, What is the best way to read a property file in a path independent way? I would like to be able to read the file and this regardless of where my clojure program is called from (this must also work if my program is bundled as a jar).
clojure.contrib.java-utils/read-properties is nice but it takes a file, how could a relative file be expressed relatively to a namespace name, project root directory or relatively to a clojure file? I did try with ClassLoader/getSystemResourceAsStream : (defn- read-properties "Read properties from filename. Filename is searched in the classpath" ;; see also clojure.contrib.java-utils [filename] (with-open [b (ClassLoader/getSystemResourceAsStream filename)] (doto (java.util.Properties.) (.load b)))) It works fine and you can specify a filename relatively to a namespace like this : "namespace/myconfig.properties". However this breaks with "lein swank" since lein swank uses its own classloader.
