java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream
public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)
Finds a resource with a given name. This method returns null if no resource
with this name is found. The rules
for searching resources associated with a given class are implemented by the
defining class loader of the

This method delegates the call to its class loader, after making these changes
to the resource name: if the
resource name starts with "/", it is unchanged; otherwise, the package
name is prepended to the resource
name after converting "." to "/". If this object was loaded
by the bootstrap loader, the call is delegated to
ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream.
Parameters: name - name of the desired resource
