Max,

I checked the source code and stumbled over that ugly Thread.currentThread()... statement. I could of courseuse it, however, what I'm saying is that the API is much more convenient to clients if you leave the old method in. An alternative would be to provide addJar( InputStream) so that one can easily do a X.class.getResourceAsStream(). This is the way to get resources from a WAR or EAR; generating a File object unnecessarily complicates things for the client.

Please reconsider your design decision.


Max' response:
I follow ya', but i think the reason we deprecated it is that the method is not "safe" - it is not gauranteed that you can getFile() a jar via the classloader. And thus, if the user want uglinees then the user get it very explicitly ;)
