problem with Class#getResource

[Dawid Weiss]

This kind of "package-list" by getResources seems to be used quite
frequently in the wild... Check out this issue I filed for Log4j2.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1484

I agree it's a side-effect that isn't defined in the spec (and
shouldn't be working).

I am not 100% sure, but according to specs, Resources are only files, never directories, so I'd always say the above code is wrong and it is just caused by an implementation detail that it works at all. :-)
