how to set the file path in netbeans within the same build directory?

I want to set the path for my file that i'm going to read without having to specify the root directories or the whole path. like this : File file = new File("Text01.txt"); or Path file = Paths.get("Accounts.txt"); instead of : Path file = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\B_HITMAN\\Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\BankAccountGUI\\src\\bankaccountgui\\Accounts.txt"); I even tried to put the file inside the build directory of netbeans, but it didn't work either. it show's this message :

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: Text01.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
at assignment01.Assignment01.main(Assignment01.java:19)
Java Result: 1

Place your file in the BankAccountGUI directory(project's root directory). And then try to access the file like this:-

File file = new File("Text01.txt");

Note:- Your file should be at the same level as the src folder.
