I'm not sure that this is the best solution to the problem. The context is: SourceSelector calls getResource on ResourceFactory with a name argument that comes from a Resource#getName. As it stands we have two different Resource types, but there may be more in the future. File base Resources will hand out Resources with names that will have platform specific file separators. They probably expect names in getResource calls to use the platform's separator, but may be able to deal with forward slashes even on Windows. ZipEntry based Resources will hand out Resources with names that always use / as separator, they can now deal with both types of input. Maybe it would be better to tighten up the contract, both for Resource#getName as well as ResourceFactory#getResource? What would be the best policy? Use the platform's separator everywhere? Use slashes everywhere? Accept everything but always return the platform dependent names? I'm not sure, but the current solution smells a bit.
