If you are only concerned with files in the JAR file, then have a look at getResourceAsStream method, the device does not need to have JSR 75 to use it.

Agreed, the FileConnection and it's getInputStream method will are the closest you will get to a FileInputStream. Here's a quick tutorial with source code:

You should use FileConnection from JSR 75. Here is a short example of using file connection for reading file:

public void showFile(String fileName) {
   try {
      FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)
         Connector.open("file:///CFCard/" + fileName);
      if(!fc.exists()) {
         throw new IOException("File does not exist");
      }
      InputStream is = fc.openInputStream();
      byte b[] = new byte[1024];
      int length = is.read(b, 0, 1024);
      System.out.println
         ("Content of "+fileName + ": "+ new String(b, 0, length));
   } catch (Exception e) {
   }
}
