Change your code;

 ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Selenium/readme");

to

 ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("readme");

I see that the .properties file is not inside the src folder. Also check the build path of your project.It will show you the src folders and the output folders location. Once you build the project using eclipse build project option, make sure your properties file is now available in the output folder.

Read properties file like:

ResourceBundle.getBundle("src/properties/readme.properties"); //Or simply "properties/readme.properties"

Put readme.properties under src/properties directory.

You don't compile a .properties file, you use it as is.

If you use a FileInputStream it will use the working directory which is set in your Run configuration (most likely the top directory)

But you are loading it as a resource which means it must be in your class path. The simplest thing to do is to create a sub-directory for your configuration and add this to your programs class path.
