Bulk import From Jar

I was reading through the Derby Utilities manual about the bulk import using SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA and I was thinking that it might be really useful to be able to import from a file in a jar. It doesn't look like this can be done now but perhaps I am overlooking something?

If the routine takes a URL as well as a file name it might be possible.
Java supports a URL scheme for jar files. See the javadoc for
java.net.JarURLConnection. Derby usually accepts a URL or a file when
taking a 'file' name for reading.
