Okay so two different things going on here: the resource folder (it's not a package) and Class.getResource().

Usually the build tool (gradle, maven, InteliJ, ...) is configured so that it maps both the src and resource folders to the same directories at runtime, concretely this means that if you have src/mypackage/Test.Kt and resources/mypackage/test.txt the actual jar you build will have mypackage/Test.class and mypackage/test.txt. The src and resource folders don't exist at runtime, so they're not relevant for getting resources. (All assuming your build tool in configured correctly of course)

Second part, MyClass.javaClass.getResource('mypackage/test.txt') looks for test.txt in the package mypackage, but relative to the package of MyClass. So if MyClass is already in mypackage, you should just use MyClass.javaClass.getResource('test.txt')`.
