File access from Clojure

How to access files from Clojure

• where is the path, is it relative or absolute
• does access work when code is packaged in jar files

slurp

clojure.java.io/resource

• project/resources is the base path, so file and directory locations are relative to that (confirm this is correct, why does ring use project/resources/public

clojure.java.io/file - avoid using file as this will not find the files when packaged in a Jar file, use resource instead
