Try:

URI uri = new URI("file//c:/.."); // win

Or 

"file:///yourdir/.." on unix (note 3 "/").

From uri you can get the url and from here you can open an inputstream or you 
can use "new File(url.toFile())"

To access a resource from your classpath the following will do:

URL url = 
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassloader().getResource("relativeNameOfFile");

Basically this should work, but its untested as my phone does not provide a 
java compiler :-)
