How to load resources from base module

[wzberger]

Here is a simple example which demonstrates the issue - still something 
missing?

//------------ MODULE A
module com.a {
   exports com.a;
}

package com.a;

public class ClassA{
   public ClassA() {
     //success
System.out.println(getClass().getResource("/com/b/resources/test.txt"));

     //fail - null
System.out.println(ClassA.class.getResource("/com/b/resources/test.txt"));
   }
}

//------------ MODULE B
module com.b {
   requires com.a;
   exports com.b;
   opens com.b.resources to com.a;
}

package com.b;

import com.a.ClassA;

public class ClassB extends ClassA{
   public ClassB(){
   }
}

//------------ MODULE C
module com.c {
   requires com.a;
   requires com.b;
}

package com.c;

import com.b.ClassB;

public class ModuleTest{
   public static void main(String[] args){
     new ClassB();
   }
}
