Problem loading resources from task

[Ian McFarland <ia...@neo.com>]

Greetings,

I'm working on some code to automate generation of Mac OS X applications 
from Ant, and have run into the following problem:

My app reads two binary files stored inside its jar file, and writes 
them to the filesystem. It does this by calling 
foo.getClass().getResource("bar");

The app works great when run from the command line:

java -classpath lib/auntiemac.jar:lib/jdom.jar 	\
	com.neo.util.dev.AuntieMac	\
	com.neo.util.dev.AuntieMac	\
	default "Auntie Mac" default default default


produces exactly the desired results. The URLs returned by getResource 
are valid, and everything proceeds smoothly. The URLs returned by 
resources are:

jar:file:/Volumes/Graphite/Users/imf/projects/auntiemac/lib/auntiemac.jar!
/resources/JavaApplicationStub

and

jar:file:/Volumes/Graphite/Users/imf/projects/auntiemac/lib/auntiemac.jar!
/resources/auntiemac-default.icns


When however I use the same exact JAR file from within ant:

<target name="mac" depends="build">
<java classname="com.neo.util.dev.AuntieMac" 
classpath="lib/auntiemac.jar:lib/jdom.jar">
<arg value="${mainclass}" />
<arg value="${build.osx.app}" />
<arg value="${Name}" />
<arg value="${auntiemac.creator}" />
<arg value="${name}" />
<arg value="${auntiemac.region}" />
<arg value="${auntiemac.iconfile}" />
</java>
.
.
.
</target>

the URLs returned by getResource() are both null.

So... Any thoughts?

I'd really like to be able to finish this app up. It's going to be open 
source, and should make it trivial to build well-packaged OS X apps from 
ant.

Thanks in advance,
