running java class issue [closed]

edit

I am following the popular DetectFaceDemo tutorial but I cant seem to run the packaged jar . DetectFaceDemo

I have placed the following files in their respect directories as shown below :

[root@hadoop1 java]# pwd
/root/openCV/opencv/samples/java/sbt/src/main/java
[root@hadoop1 java]#
[root@hadoop1 java]# ls
build.sbt  DetectFaceDemo.java.orig  HelloOpenCV.java  lib  project  target
[root@hadoop1 java]#
[root@hadoop1 java]# ls  lib
libopencv_java249.so  opencv-249.jar
[root@hadoop1 java]#
[root@hadoop1 java]# cd ..
[root@hadoop1 main]# pwd
/root/openCV/opencv/samples/java/sbt/src/main
[root@hadoop1 main]# ls
java  origscala  resources
[root@hadoop1 main]# ls resources
AverageMaleFace.jpg  img1.png  img2.png  lbpcascade_frontalface.xml  lena.png
[root@hadoop1 main]#

I am getting error when I run the jar , I have a feeling the code is not picking up the image and the xml file from the src/main/resources folder ? I have though provided the absolute path to the resource folder.

[root@hadoop1 java]# sbt run
