Using getResourceAsStream after build isn't working?

In my Java project in netbeans I get a text files contents to populate some internal data structure using this:

InputStream PFile = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("../../IISP Details/IISP.txt"); // Get File to create IISP's
    String[] PStringArray = new Scanner(PFile, "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next().split("\\r?\\n");

But when I clean and build my project it isn't working.

Ideas?

Edit:

More info...

The code is called in the cs.analyser.gui.master package in the 'loadMaster' class.

The file is in cs.analyser.IISPDetails.

I can tell that it's not finding the file - are there any alternatives? Or anyways to make the file get bundled with it when I build it?

Try this 

InputStream PFile = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("IISP.txt"); // Get File to create IISP's
String[] PStringArray = new Scanner(PFile, "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next().split("\\r?\\n");

and add the IISP.txt to a location that it is in the CLASSPATH.

Don't know about classpath? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html
