you can use it like.

ClassFromWhichYouAreACcessingTheseFiles.class.getResources("resources/log4j.properties");

than if you add this jar to another project you will be able to access it.

If your config files end up in the WEB-INF/classes folder

ClassFromWhichYouAreACcessingTheseFiles.class.getClassLoader().getResources("log4j.properties");

otherwise it include the "package-path" from the ClassFromWhichYouAreACcessingTheseFiles

thanks,it works.it's required to my jar file contains resources folder.
