I wrote a class in src/main/java/com/xxx/service/impl, and loaded a properties file by using class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(). The method looked up the file in src/main/resources but not in src or the project directory, why? What's the difference between folder and package?

getResourceAsStream() looks into the classpath that was provided to the program at runtime. Classpath is a collection of "places" where the program is allowed to look for its constituents, like classes or resource files.

A package is just a folder that happens to be in your application's classpath.
