I think you've mis-read my mail. I was just observing that newbie/simple programs executed by the source file launcher are unlikely to need to locate the class bytes via the getResourceXXX APIs. That doesn't mean the issue should be ignored, it just means it may not be high priority. In any case, I see Jon has created an issue to track this. Also the URL protocol handler pluggability that was added in Java SE 9 will help as it makes me it easy for the jdk.compiler module to include a URLStreamHandlerProvider. -Alan Alan,

It looks like we don't even need to register a URLStreamHandlerProvider, we can provide the URLStreamHandler when we create the URL. :-)
