How to use properties file in JME

Troubleshooting import-assets

I need to use a properties file for my game in JME(in the sdk). I tried to use this snippet of code from baeldung but it didn’t work

type or paste code heString rootPath = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("").getPath();
String appConfigPath = rootPath + "app.properties";
String catalogConfigPath = rootPath + "catalog";

Properties appProps = new Properties();
appProps.load(new FileInputStream(appConfigPath));

Properties catalogProps = new Properties();
catalogProps.load(new FileInputStream(catalogConfigPath));

  
String appVersion = appProps.getProperty("version");
assertEquals("1.0", appVersion);
        
assertEquals("files", catalogProps.getProperty("c1"));re

I think I have to use assetManager but I’m unsure of how to use assetManager in this case.

Asset manager is for cached assets. It is (by default) loading them from the classpath by prepending a “/” but otherwise is just loading class resources and then smart caching them. (It’s the asset manager’s main job to smart cache.)

For regular class resources just load the class resource:
MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream(“/my.properties”);
…or whatever.

The “Heart” add-on library includes a properties loader for JMonkeyEngine.
Here’s how you might use it:

import jme3utilities.PropertiesLoader;
//...
    public void simpleInitApp() {
        assetManager.registerLoader(PropertiesLoader.class, "properties");
//...
        Properties props = (Properties) assetManager.loadAsset(assetPath);
