File not found exception while making fileinputstream?

I try to create a fileInputStram for Jasper i get FileNotFoundException. my jasper file and the java class is under the same package. i use java 1.8 and jasperreport 5.5.0

Does anybody know what is the wrong in this code?

java.io.FileNotFoundException: de\reports\off\office.jasper (The system cannot find the path specified)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
    at de.reports.off.PrintOffice.retrieveStream(PrintOffice.java:105)

this is my methode:

public static FileInputStream retrieveStream() {
        final String OFFICE_JASPER = "de\\reports\\off\\office.jasper";
        File jasperFile = new File( OFFICE_JASPER );
        FileInputStream fis = null;
        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream( jasperFile);
        }
        catch ( FileNotFoundException e ) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return fis;
    }

If you create a File object with a relative path, it will be relative the directory specified in user.home (normally the directory from which you start your application).

example:
- your application is started from directory C:\dir1\app
- the File will refer to the file C:\dir1\app\de\reports\off\office.jasper

My IDE didn't copy the file when compiling. It was just small adjustment in pom file where .jasper was defined. i added /src to <directory>${basedir}/src</directory>

<resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src</directory>
                <filtering>false</filtering>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.jasper</include>
                </includes>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>target</exclude>
                    <exclude>**/target</exclude>
                    <exclude>**/target/**</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </resource>
