Loading properties file gives null

In the main() class i put a code:

App.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("Repo-Offer.properties")

the result is null

The property file resides in:

Project/src/main/resources/properties/Repo-Offer.properties

I was trying to load properties like this:

private Properties getPropertiesFromClasspath(String propFileName) throws IOException {
    // loading xmlProfileGen.properties from the classpath
    Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader()
        .getResourceAsStream(propFileName);

    if (inputStream == null) {
        throw new FileNotFoundException("property file '" + propFileName
            + "' not found in the classpath");
    }

    props.load(inputStream);

    return props;
}

but because of that null it says

  Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: Repo-Offer.properties

How to use the properties files from: Project/src/main/resources/properties/Repo-Offer.properties while the source is in 

Project/src/main/java/com/...

? EDIT It is Maven project.

Assuming you are using Maven, the properties file will land in /properties/Repo-Offer.properties, so use that as file path. Have a look in target/classes to verify the proper path.
