Cannot open file in java

I am trying to open a text file in java. I am using ubuntu 12.04. Following is my code:

package nlp;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class sentence {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("hello");
    FileReader fr = new FileReader("test.txt");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        // process the line.
    }
    br.close();

}

}

I am using Eclipse for development. It says "FileNotFound". I have put the text file in .class as well as .java folder. Where am I going wrong?

The file should be in root of the project folder as given below. Your code is working fine.

As Arnaud mentioned try this to find where Java is expecting the file:

System.out.println(new File(".").getAbsolutePath());

The default execution directory in Eclipse is the root of the project folder. Put the file there or prefix the path with correct underlying folder structure.

you need to put that in try-catch because it throws IOException which is checked Exception.Put the code in try-catch or handle the exception using "public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException"
