Get Folder from Jar Resources/Classpath

--src
--resources
----rules
-------rule1.txt
-------rule2.txt

getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("rules").getPath()
When create the plugin jar and install it as a Plugin, the line above throws a null pointer exception. I tried adding the
How can I get the path for the "rules" directory?

How do you create the plugin JAR? Do you use gradle-intellij-plugin? Are the text files included into the plugin JAR?
I used the Build Project option and then "Prepare Plugin Module <> for Deployment.
Yeah the files are included in the plugin jar.
What class is returned by `getClass()` method? Which class-loader is returned by `getClassLoader()` method?
You can also debug the code by adding debug parameters to the IDE command line (Help | Edit VM Options) and then connecting to it via 'Remote' run configuration.
