For whatever reason my project has decided it cannot find my transaction.properties file. It is located in the : src/main/resource

However it looks in looks in target/classes/

The file also resides yet throws the errors(see below)

These all seem to stem from the whole in the init of code I have no acces to which is always fun.

Anyone have any idea how to get past the whole:

Using init file: /target/classes/transactions.properties
com.atomikos.icatch.SysException: Error in init: Error during checkpointing
    at com.atomikos.icatch.imp.TransactionServiceImp.init(TransactionServiceImp.java:728)

EDIT:

The errors are mainly pointing at the atomikos path. I'll be honest I'm at a total loss as to what is actually happening under the hood so. It's rather melting. The two files are the same so it shouldn't really matter which file it uses, however I can view the first error line reference.

 public synchronized void init ( Properties properties ) throws SysException
{
    Stack errors = new Stack ();
    this.properties_ = properties;

    try {
        recoverymanager_.init ();
    } catch ( LogException le ) {
        errors.push ( le );
        throw new SysException ( "Error in init: " + le.getMessage (),
                errors );
    }
    recoverCoordinators ();

    //initialized is now set in recover()
    //initialized_ = true;

    shuttingDown_ = false;
    control_ = new LogControlImp ( this );
    // call recovery already, to make sure that the
    // RMI participants can start inquiring and replay

    recover ();
    notifyListeners ( true, false );
}

Full error printout:
