Indeed. That wasn't an issue for our particular case. The following may work for those situations:

String className = MyClass.class.getName();
URL myClassUrl = MyClass.class.getResource("/" + className.replace('.', '/') + ".class");
URL jarUrl = ((JarURLConnection)myClassUrl.openConnection()).getJarFileURL();

I think.

Nevertheless, I don't think
it's the recommended way to do it. --DD

Why not? What recommends the getProtectionDomain method over this one?

Ciao,
