How to get FileChannel from resource

[Ulf Zibis]

Sherman, yes, you are right. That's not what I'm looking for.

This would be slower, than reading the stream directly, because the 
underlying byte array will be copied 2 times by 
BufferedInputStream#<init> + Channels.ReadableByteChannelImpl#read(),
... but maybe not, because looping BufferedInputStream#readChar() could 
be slower than twice System.arraycopy().

Anyway, I'm looking for a DirectBuffer directly from a resource file.
So I think there is something missing:
URL.openChannel() or Class#getResourceAsChannel()

Maybe there is a way to get a RamdomAccessFile from URL to get the 
Channel from. Anybody knows ?

Should I file a bug ?
Somebody any objections ?
