The test creates an instance of ClassB (extends ClassA) and so 
getClass() returns ClassB here, not ClassA. So when constructing a 
ClassB then this is equivalent to ClassB.class.getResource(...).

Right, as this resource is not in the com.a module. Change this to 
ClassB.class.getResource(...) and it should work.
