This is not a issue of locating the jar file - after all you running which
means you class is loaded which means the JRE has located the class which
means the jar is know. If you task class is
com/mycompany/tools/dbgen/DBGenAntTask.class then either of the following
two approaches should work:
getClass().getResourceAsStream("Class.tmpl");
getClass().getResourceAsStream("/com/mycompany/tools/dbgen/Class.tmpl");
