Resource encapsulation is complicated.

The basic guideline is that code should use Class::getResourceXXX or 
Module::getResourceXXX to locate a resource in its own module. 
ClassLoader::getResourceXXXX is for locating other resources in other 
components on the class path or module path. Services are often a better 
choice for cases where the resource is configuration that names a class.

Two modules with resources in the same "package" is the same as split 
package issue. Are the two modules in question closely related, meaning 
sharing a name space, or they are completely unrelated?
