Ok, I found the problem I was having. It happens that the PropertiesUserManager class already manages the case for resources, and reads them as Streams.
I was doing that part myself, getting the resource, transforming that to a File and giving it to the PropertiesUserManagerFactory. So by simply passing a Plain Java File object with the partial path of the resource to the factory, my app work nicely distributed as a Jar file.
