The main problem is that new URL(".../x/", "y") and URL(".../x", "y") result in two different resolved URLs:

  | import java.net.*;
  | 
  | public class x
  | {
  |    public static void main(String[] args)
  | 	throws Exception
  |    {
  |       URL dir = new URL("file:/tmp/x/");
  |       URL file = new URL("file:/tmp/x");
  |       URL subdir = new URL(dir, "y");
  |       URL subfile = new URL(file, "y");
  |       System.out.println(subdir);
  |       System.out.println(subfile);
  |    }
  | }
  | 
  | ... output:
  | 
  | file:/tmp/x/y
  | file:/tmp/y
  | 

This is what Carlo is saying about how the relative url against the jar is being resolved.
