Subject: Re: How to read a folder from the bundle

I am not sure I totally understand your situation, but assume that we
have a bundle with the following content from the root of its JAR file:

    org/
       foo/
          resource/
             file1.xml
             file2.xml
             file3.xml

Now further assume that our bundle has the following bundle class path:

    Bundle-ClassPath: .

You should be able to access any of these resources using
class.getResourceAsStream("org/foo/resource/file1.xml") and so on. The
important point here is that these resources are accessible on the
bundle's internal class path.

On the other hand, if you have some arbitrary folder inside of your
bundle that is not on your bundle's internal class path, then you will
have to use the bundle entry-related methods, e.g., Bundle.getEntry(),
to gain access to them.
