Utils to read resource text file to String (Java) [closed]
You can use the old Stupid Scanner trick oneliner to do that without any additional dependency like guava:
String text = new Scanner(AppropriateClass.class.getResourceAsStream("foo.txt"), "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();
Guys, don't use 3rd party stuff unless you really need that. There is a lot of functionality in the JDK already.
