 And I have set the basedir before parsing my resource file.

 Good question. Here is the context:
 - I'm writing a build system with a 'pure' Ant (that may be open-sourced as
   soon as internal politic debates are over)
 - My build system plugin structure is simple: a jar with compiled classes and
   one or many Ant build file as resources. Of course such build file must
   fulfill constraints to work properly.

 At the moment, I'm using Ant 1.6.2 with a little patch already in CVS, to get
 a valid buildfile location instead of null. I'm waiting for 1.6.3 to get the
 build system work with an official release.

 The BuildException thrown by ProjectHelper2 when parsing a URL is annoying for
 me now. If my patch proposal is not accepted when 1.6.3 comes out, I will have
 to copy/paste the ProjectHelper2 in my core classes to disable that exception
 throwing.

 Thanks for your help
