File in src but not default package? Java

This may be very abstractly written, as I'm not sure of a good other way. In Java, I wrote something that creates a file and saves it in that folder. I then have another class/object that takes those files and uses those files to do some calculations. Why do I get thrown a FileNotFoundException when those files are saved in the default package of the src but not when they are saved outside the default package? I am working in the Eclipse IDE and was curious as to why this occurred?

EDIT: I tried to create a file File temp = new File("src/random.txt") and this is where I was running into my problem and getting the errors thrown. It worked later when I omitted 'src' when creating the new file

provide full path e.g.

String csvFile = "D:\\Documents\\ex\\myFile.csv";
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(csvFile);

make sure you have correct file extension.

As far as I can guess from your description above, you are not providing path for the files, just use file names? That's why your application is looking for the files where it runs.
