[jsword-devel] Java Web Start and loading resources

[Chris Burrell]

I haven't come across this one before. I've come across an issue in Java 7
where it starts catering for INDEX.LIST files if they are packaged into jar
dependencies whereupon it tries to get every dependency in there (the
INDEX.LIST is located under META-INF).

But if you mean resources as in the ones under src/main/resources which end
up on the classpath, I'm not entirely sure why they can't be found.

Can it be anything to do with this:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/faq.html#s211

The javadoc for pickLoader in CwClassLoader is a bit misleading in terms of
it saying "returns true ..." but I'm not sure I really understand the
logic. But I'm guessing it's getting the System classloader at some point
in the chain, and then you end up not finding your resources?

Why are we using our own classloader by the way?
