Need help with strange Class#getResource() issue

Question

I have some legacy code that reads a configuration file from an existing jar, like:

URL url = SomeClass.class.getResource(\"/configuration.properties\");
//          


        

Answer 1

There are bugs in several Java versions when using file URLs containing spaces. "/path/to/jar" is probably not your real path, so I at least assume that this is what you're running into. Your code is at least in theory ok.
