Java OutputStream equivalent to getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream()

Solution

It sounds like you want to store user preferences. Consider using the Java Preferences API for that.

Problem

I am attempting to store the change made to my application's properties. The `.properties` file is located in `resources` package, which is different from the package that contains my UI and model. I opened the package using: ``` this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resources/settings.properties") ``` Is there a functional equivalent of this that permits me to persist changes to the Properties Class in the same .Properties file?
