I have a plugin that I'm writing that needs to do two things during the course of its execution: Load a resource from the current project's classpath Load a resource from its own guts
This is a fallback kind of thing: if the plugin can't find anything appropriate on the project classpath, then and only then do I want it to examine its own .jar file for the resource in question. My hunch is that there are probably already two classloaders set up for just this purpose. I am guessing (haven't tried yet) that the project classpath is probably visible to Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(). Is that right? I'm also guessing (haven't tried yet) that from within my mojo this.getClass().getClassLoader() will return me a ClassLoader that is set up to be able to see my mojo's innards. Is that right?
