For the packed.jar case I don't see how are we gonna do that. Since our BaseClassLoader.getResource("META-INF/") returns URL that points to VFS's SynthenticDirEntryHandler. And this one currently doesn't know to do much: | public InputStream openStream() throws IOException | { | throw new IOException("Directories cannot be opened"); | } | Any ideas on how to handle this still in no-VFS-aware way?
