These kinds of assets are known as "resources" in java parlance. A resource is named by a path relative to an entry in the classpath. Declaring foo as a dependency will place it in the classpath. The name of the resource will therefore be the path of the asset within foo.jar. Give clojure.java.io/resource [1] that name, and it will return a URL. Pass that URL to clojure.java.io/input-stream [2] to open the resource for reading.
