我创建了这样一个NO-dependency静态方法:

import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class ResourceReader {
    public  static String asString(String resourceFIleName) {
        try  {
            return new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(new CheatClassLoaderDummyClass().getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(resourceFIleName).toURI())));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}
class CheatClassLoaderDummyClass{//cheat class loader - for sql file loading
}

yegor256用Apache Commons IO找到了一个很好的解决方案:

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;

String text = IOUtils.toString(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("foo.xml"),
                               "UTF-8");

apache-commons-io有一个实用程序名为FileUtils:

URL url = Resources.getResource("myFile.txt");
File myFile = new File(url.toURI());

String content = FileUtils.readFileToString(myFile, "UTF-8");  // or any other encoding

我喜欢akosicki用愚蠢的扫描仪技巧回答的问题。这是我在Java 8中看到的最简单的没有外部依赖的工作(实际上一直追溯到Java 5)。如果你可以使用Java 9或更高版本(因为InputStream.readAllBytes()是在Java 9中添加的)，这里有一个更简单的答案:

String text = new String(AppropriateClass.class.getResourceAsStream("foo.txt")
    .readAllBytes());

public static byte[] readResoureStream(String resourcePath) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    InputStream in = CreateBffFile.class.getResourceAsStream(resourcePath);

    //Create buffer
    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
    for (;;) {
        int nread = in.read(buffer);
        if (nread <= 0) {
            break;
        }
        byteArray.write(buffer, 0, nread);
    }
    return byteArray.toByteArray();
}

Charset charset = StandardCharsets.UTF_8;
String content = new   String(FileReader.readResoureStream("/resource/...*.txt"), charset);
String lines[] = content.split("\\n");

通过一组静态导入，Guava解决方案可以非常紧凑的一行程序:

toString(getResource("foo.txt"), UTF_8);

需要导入以下内容:

import static com.google.common.io.Resources.getResource
import static com.google.common.io.Resources.toString
import static java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8
