I need my application to be able to get the full path information for a jar file within the MyEclipse Project.

I have imported the jar (my.jar) as an External Jar file on the Project>Properties>Java Build Path

URL aURL = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(“my.jar”);

Yet has returned “null” every single time when I’ve run a Junit Test case to validate this.

Do you need to do something special for MyEclipse to use the ClassLoader.getResource method to read get URL paths to jar files?

AFAIK, a non-fully qualified path to the jar means that java’s class loader will search for the jar in the same directory as the class file. Try giving a more qualified path to the jar.
