Nope, I want to load a file inside the same jar that Gdvb class. The main problem is that I have to put the .jar in the CLASSPATH and execute the Gdvb class instead of java -jar gdvb.jar, because in this second form, java only handles the classpath defined in the MANIFEST. And I don't want to define the gtk jar file path there. Because is system-dependent.
