I know for sure (downloaded JDK source and read it), and the answer is
Yes, they work :-) Using the ClassLoader.getResource() method directly
would *not* work, *but* since ResourceBundle.getBundle() has been coded
with doPrivileged at very appropriate places (phew) that can be used as
a way to access properties files in the .jar.
Neat.
