I meant "open the jar, read the entry". That requires a jar to exist - if you want to package multiple libs in a jar, you need to merge the descriptors ( will this allow multiple namespaces ? ) Some people consider even getRealPath() to be a bad thing because you access the file system directly ( I disagree - but they have some points ). Regarding getResources() - you can use it to get all META-INF/antlib.xml that are visible in a certain loader. For example if you want to load all the libraries. Again, using the filesystem directly is not perfect.
