[forge-users] Using template files from Jar

[forge-users at lists.jboss.org]

Hello George,
Thank you

Indeed there is no need to use File or FileResource even if its a file after all (I'm a disciple of intuitive programming {emoticon:class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=https://static.jboss.org/developer/6.0.3.60ddddd/images/emoticons/happy.png|__jive_emoticon_name=happy} ).
That leads to a problem (project root appended before an ok full file path).  (should I create a TestCase ?)

Unfortunately,
Resource<URL> templateResource = rfactory.create(getClass().getResource("voila.txt"));
  brings null in templateResource although this syntax is used in the angular-js addon for example (FreemarkerClientTest.java)

For future reference, a working code is :
|  |  | Resource<URL> templateResource = rfactory.create(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("voila.txt")); |
|  |  | Template template = tfactory.create(templateResource, FreemarkerTemplate.class); |

I'm using Java 7.0.40 on w7 64 and it works on my machine, today {emoticon:class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=https://static.jboss.org/developer/6.0.3.60ddddd/images/emoticons/happy.png|__jive_emoticon_name=happy}

As I plan to have a quantity of templates I prefer to put them in resources, separated from java sources.
I'll file an improvement request about that because what's the point of having the maven tree if a part of it is not used by default.

Cheers,

Jerome
