It just was a guess. I just wanted to work around my other question (getting the url from a file reference). But, thinking about it, this it isn't expected to be possible, as the layer file becomes part of the XML filesystem after installation, it doesn't have a "personality" of its own which

I still don’t understand why it is that you are trying to do this, if you explain the context, that would help. You should never need to access the layer.xml file itself. There are method calls in FileUtil for getting hold of folders and files in the layer. Can you explain what it is you’re trying

Whatever it is you're trying to do here, please stop. :-) The NetBeans module system and the Jigsaw module system are two totally different things and know nothing about each other. On the other hand, you're going to ignore this advice and go on ahead with whatever this is anyway, so bear in mind
