Classpath loader issue

[Benjamin Cordes]

In utils we have this:

input = NuBot.class.getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);

if (input == null) {
                LOG.severe("Sorry, unable to find " + filename);
                return false;
}

"Some implementations may use null to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method will return null in such implementations if this class was loaded by the bootstrap class loader."

So as far as I understand this leads to unexpected behaviour in IDE's.. trying to find a fix

Better to load all files via relative path instead. After looking into it I don't see any reason to use resourceStream.

use relative paths
