FileInputStream is Null?

Question

Okay, so this is the line that's returning null. What am I doing wrong while creating this FileInputStream?

FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(new File(getClass().getResource("data/levellocks.lv").toURI()));

Answer 1

The only thing that can be null there is getResource("data/levellocks.lv") which is calling the toURI call to fail
