Hi
Can you te me please where you put your "Product.txt" file.

Well here I'll suppose that your text file is in the same package as the other java files.
If it is so please made this change:

class LoadFromFileListener implements ActionListener {

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
            try {
                InputStream u = getClass().getResourceAsStream("product.txt");
                BufferedReader  in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(u));
                String myEntry;
                while ((myEntry = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(myEntry, ",");
                    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
                        String ProdName = st.nextToken();
                        int quantity = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
                        Double price = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken());
                        myList.addLast(new ProductEntry(ProdName, quantity, price));

                        Display.setText("");
                        for (int i = 0; i < myList.size(); i++) {
                            Display.append(myList.get(i).toString());
                        }

                        Display.append("\n" + "TOTAL: " + myList.size() + "  Product(s) Found");
                    }
                }
                in.close();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File not found!", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
            }
        }
    }

Hope it helps.
