How to read resources using kotlin

I'm new to kotlin, creating plugin using Kotlin.

I have properties file added to resources folder, want to read proprerties file using kotlin

Project:

I tried the same using java, i was able to achieve from the below code

JAVA:

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("app.properties").getPath();

I just need the similar code for the above, i tried below but im getting below location where its searching for properties. But properties file is not the location where its searching for

file: /Users/smadhavan/IdeaProjects/MyPlugin/build/idea-sandbox/plugins/kotlin/lib/kotlin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/app.properties

KOTLIN:

this.javaClass.classLoader.getResource("app.properties").path

Thanks
