Just noticed something else in there which is probably your real problem.

A resource is actually just a file. Give it a filename. If you want it to
load a class, use Class.forName(). Otherwise, specify the entire filename
to getSystemResourceAsStream(). That is probably where you are going wrong.
It will return null on
ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("java.lang.Class") because there is no
such file in the classpath.
ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("java/lang/Class.class") will return a
full InputStream.
