Netbeans File I/O FileNotFound /FileLocation Null

I cant seem to get file IO to work within netbeans 

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        System.out.println("File Location: "+ System.getProperty("myFile.txt"));

        //File file = new File("myFile.txt");

    }

I get an exception for this. 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

And output:

File Location: null

without the System.getProperty and I get the FileNotFoundException

java.io.FileNotFoundException: myFile.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)

The file itself is in the source directory of the project and also shows up in the IDE under the Source Packages > myproject> myFile.txt

Any reason why its not finding the file or any suggestions?

Thanks

File should be placed here if you're calling it like this "myFile.txt"

MyProject (project root)
    myFile.txt
    src
