Use getResourceAsStream() to get an input stream for the HTML file,
read from that and write to a StringWriter or CharArrayWriter.
getResourceAsStream is a method of the class Class. Best bet is to use
a class that's sitting in the same directory in the zip file as the
HTML file. Then the argument to it is just "foo.html":
myObject.getClass().getResourceAsStream("foo.html")
if you have an instance, or
MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("foo.html")
if you don't.
