> Resource lookup in Geronimo 3.0 returns "bundle" type of urls. However, a lot
> of Geronimo code and a number of third party libraries assumes that urls
> returned by resource lookup return "jar" or "file" type of urls. Because of
> this difference a lot of applications might not work properly on Geronimo
> 3.0. The Geronimo specific code has mostly been updated to use OSGi-friendly
> ways to look for resources. However, we can't expect every 3rd party library
> to be updated to be OSGi friendly. So we might need a solution that can
> return "jar" or "file" urls that works with most libraries.
> One possible solution is to use the BundleResourceClassLoader in the
> xbean-bundleutils project (currently used in the OpenJPA plugin). That
> solution could be enhanced with Equinox-specific extension (URLConverter
> service) that can convert "bundle" urls directly into "jar" or "file" urls
> (using the jars in its bundle cache).
