Java reading text from src without writing a long path

javatext;

I can read texts and write them to console however when i install this application to another computer wherever it is installed I dont want to change the path of the txt file. I want to write it like

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("xxx.txt"));

I don't want to:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\\Users\\abcde\\Desktop\\xxx.txt"));

is there any way to show this txt file? By the way I put this txt file inside the sources but it cant read!

First get the default application path then check if file exist if exist continue if not close application.

 String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
      System.out.println(path + "\\disSoruCevap.txt");
      File file = new File(path + "\\disSoruCevap.txt");


      if (!file.exists()) {
          System.out.println("System couldnt file source file!");
          System.out.println("Application will explode");
      }

EDIT*

Please prefer one of the answer using resource streams, as you will see from comments using user.dir is not safe in every case.
