I have a Java application that is an obfuscator
which is used to manipulate the class files. It
loads the class files using getResourceAsStream().
Please see the following (short)code:

import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

public class load
{
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        Object o = new Object();

        System.out.println("o is " + o);

        Class c = o.getClass();

        System.out.println("c is " + c);

        //
        // The following getResourceAsStream() works
        //
        InputStream is1 = c.getResourceAsStream("/load.java");
        System.out.println("is1 is " + is1);

        //
        // This one doesn't
        //
        InputStream is2 = c.getResourceAsStream("/load.class");
        System.out.println("is2 is " + is2);
    }
}

Save this code as "load.java" unset CLASSPATH, compile it and
run it. The getResourceAsStream() of "load.java"
works, but the getResourceAsStream() of "load.class" fails.
(This is on WinNT JDK116). This works on JDK113
linux and JDK 114 AIX, but fails on two separate
ports of JDK 115 linux (and WinNT 116). My guess
is that this function got regressed between
JDK 114 and 115.

I don't know what happens on JDK1.2.

Please can you help. I can't ship my product
without being able to obfuscate my source code

Thanks
