I have a simple structure: A data jar file which contains a batch of data, and a service jar file, which runs a service using the data. To make the data easy to replace, I have them separate, and service.jar's classpath contains the directory which data.jar is in.

Within service.jar, I use getResource to load the data files. This works if the data files are directly within the folder, but fails when they are inside data.jar;

This fails:

all + globalclasspath | + data.jar | + mine.properties + daemons + service.jar jsvc -cp globalclasspath:daemons/service.jar (...) MyClass.class.getClassLoader( ).getResource( "mine.properties" ); // <-- null 

But this works:

all + globalclasspath | + mine.properties + daemons + service.jar jsvc -cp globalclasspath:daemons/service.jar (...) MyClass.class.getClassLoader( ).getResource( "mine.properties" ); // <-- null 

I don't want to change the classpath (unless I can change it to something generic which doesn't depend on the name of the data jar file), but I'm fine with changing the getResource string (I've tried /data/mine.properties and /data.jar/mine.properties to no avail). Is there a change I can make so that the resources can be loaded from within the jar?
