I believe the ClassLoader getResource() method resolves the path relative 
to the root of the class hierarchy.

The Class class has a getResource() method that can resolve relative to 
the package of the calling class.  For example:

    URL url = getClass().getResource( "smiley.jpg" );

This will load the from the same path as the ".class" file.  If you 
specify a relative path (i.e. "images/smiley.jpg"), it will be relative 
to the directory that contains the class file.  You can also specify an 
absolute path (i.e. "/com/company/package/images/smiley.jpg").  This 
should be the equivalent of calling the ClassLoader getResource() method.
