How to deserialize java resource file in the jar package?

[Fengyun RAO <ra...@gmail.com>]

In C# version, there is an API:
 IFileReader<T> OpenReader(Stream inStream)
which require only a "Stream" object.

However in java version, it requires a "SeekableInput":
FileReader<D> openReader(SeekableInput in, DatumReader<D> reader)

Now that the data is in the resource file which is embedded in the jar
package,
we can only get a stream using getResourceAsStream() method,
how can we deserialize the data?

I also wonder why are the APIs different between C# and java version.
Could there also be an API requiring only a Stream object in java, which I
think
would be quite convenient.

Please see DataFileStream, which can be constructed using an
InputStream.  This is the base class for DataFileReader.
