Simple test class:

=================================================
package test;

import java.net.URL;

public class test
{
    public test()
    {
        URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("/test/test.gif");

        System.out.println("url = " + url);
    }

    static public void main( String args[] )
    {
        test t = new test();
    }
}
=================================================

I have a file test.gif in the same directory as
test.class. I compile and run:

C:\temp\test>java test.test
url = systemresource:/FILEc:\temp/+//test/test.gif

Now, I put test.class and test.gif into a jar file:

C:\temp\test>cd ..

C:\temp>jar cvf test.jar test\test.class test\test.gif
adding: test/test.class (in=898) (out=516) (deflated 42%)
adding: test/test.gif (in=1077) (out=355) (deflated 67%)

Change my classpath and run the test again:

C:\temp>set classpath=d:\java\jdk1.1\lib\classes.zip;c:\temp\test.jar

C:\temp>java test.test
url = null
