After gradle build can`t load file from resource in jar

my gradle build script:

apply plugin: 'java'

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.package.Starter'
    }
}

repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
   compile 'javax.persistence:persistence-api:1.0.2'
}

my folder structure:

└── main
├── java
│   └── com
│       └── packege
│           ├── pojo
│           │   ├── City.java
│           │   └── GeocodeResponse.java
│           │   
│           └── Starter.java
│       
└── resources
    └── cities.csv

java function in Starter.java

private void set_cities(){
    BufferedReader br = null;
    String line = "";
    String cvsSplitBy = ";";
    URL url = Starter.class.getResource("cities.csv");

    // print class folder for debug
    ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();

    URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs();

    for(URL url1: urls){
        System.out.println(url1.getFile());
    }

    try {

        br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(url.getFile())); // <-- null :(((
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            String[] data = line.split(cvsSplitBy);
            cities.add(new City(data[1], data[0]));
        }

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (br != null) {
            try {
                br.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

After gradle build I want to start from jar file from /build/libs/h.jar using java -jar h.jar command but output is:

/path/to/project/h/build/libs/h.jar // <-- output of URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs();
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.package.Starter.set_cities(Starter.java:90)
at com.package.Starter.<init>(Starter.java:34)
at com.package.Starter.main(Starter.java:133)

You could use absolute path to your resource file and, getResourceAsStream method to be able to access your jar, in this case:

Starter.class.getResourceAsStream("/cities.csv");
