XML document in jar file

Hi !

I'd like to put an XML file in the very same jar archive file that
contains executable classes of the application. That is no problem.

The problem is how to read the XML file without specifying the path to
the jar file. Is there any reference to the jar filewhich the
application is started from ?

Class.getResource("theXMLfile.xml")

Thank you. I had a bright moment myself in the meantime and discovered
ClassLoader.getSystemResource, which is the same thing, more or less.
