Problem referencing a resource in a plugin jar

[David Whitehurst]

Can someone tell me how to get the maven plugin classloader?  Or tell me if
that's I can't obtain the reference file as such ... from a plugin.java file
e.g.

           ClassLoader classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
           File file = new File(classLoader.getResource
(getLocalProperties().getProperty("templateName")).toString());
           FileReader reader = new FileReader(file);

The templateName is a String e.g.

webstuff/mytemplate.ftl

And it resides in the plugin jar at /webstuff/mytemplate.ftl .  I checked
the jar in the .m2 repo.  Is my FileNotFoundException because I am using the
wrong classloader?  And, if so, what classloader, and how do I get it?


Thanks,

David
