It seems to me that you are hoping to access a text file that is
external to your jar, and that this external text file is located
in a directory relative to your jar. If this is correct, then
there seems to be some gotchas involved and I'm not familiar
enough with the api to offer concrete advice. But there is some
discussion on stackoverflow that might help.
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8775303/read-properties-file-outside-jar-file>
Is one such discussion. Probably more, you might try searching there.
