Re: reading map data from JAR file

Hi Martijn,

It is possible, but if you want to do it with the 4.4.2 release, you
need to modify the com.bbn.openmap.io.BinaryFile object so that

        url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(name);

is replaced with:

        url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(name);

There are a couple places where you need to change it.

This is fixed in 4.5, which is *still* pending.
