I am trying to access an owl file trough java. I'm using Eclipse if it matters.

Code:
package source;

import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.model.OWLModel;
import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.model.OWLNamedClass; 
import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.ProtegeOWL; 
import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.inference.protegeowl.ReasonerManager; 
import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.inference.protegeowl.ProtegeOWLReasoner; 
import edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.inference.dig.reasoner.DIGReasonerIdentity; 

public class InitPro 
{
	String ONTOLOGY_URL = "people.owl";
	String REASONER_URL = "http://localhost:8080";
	ProtegeOWLReasoner reasoner;
	
	public InitPro() throws Exception
	{	
		// Load the ontology from teh specified URL
		OWLModel model = ProtegeOWL.createJenaOWLModelFromURI(ONTOLOGY_URL);
		
		// Get the reasoner manager and obtain a reasoner for the OWL model
		//ReasonerManager reasonerManager= ReasonerManager.getInstance();
		//reasoner = reasonerManager.getReasoner(model);
		
	}//End of constructor
It's constantly throwing an exception. people.owl is located locally and I've moved it around putting it in every folder that I can think of. Where should it go for Protege to find it? This is a team project and between the 12 of us we have been unable to figure it out.
