Referencing a file from inside a jar

How do I reference a file from inside the jar in the packages? Because right now it's only looking for the file in the directory that the jar file is in.

I have packed the file inside of the jar correctly, but I'm not sure how to refer to it.

URL url = getClass().getResource("..../.../...");
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("..../.../...");

Either absolute ("/...") or relative to the getClass.
