Re:Some java help needed!

Thanks, Diez.

After looking at the javadocs, I did the following:

Object obj = new Object();
try{
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader(new
FileReader
(obj.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("countries.txt")));
.....
....
}
What is wrong here? I get the following error message: 

cannot resolve symbol
    [javac] symbol  : constructor FileReader (java.io.InputStream)
    [javac] location: class java.io.FileReader
    [javac] new BufferedReader(new
    [javac]                    ^
    [javac] 1 error

I have imported java.io.*.

Thanks,

Damar
