Works fine for me? My jar file had a manifest, a class ( default package )
and a properties file. I added the jar to the CLASSPATH and executed the
class. Voila!
As the InputStream has no concept of file paths there is no easy way to
determine where
in the CLASSPATH it was loaded from. CLASSPATH search order is actually
undefined allthough it tends to left to right. The only way I can think of
is to split System.getProperties().getProperty("java.class.path") and append
the
properties file name to every path and then checking if that file is
readable. Yuk.

Have you tried doing this from a class inside a .jar file? I have
and it didn't work.
