Hi Martin,

Right - I didn't think of that - I was speaking of relative paths using
the @ notation, things like "@resources/images/img.png" or
"@../../resources/images/img.png".

Such paths require no configuration at all - they are resolved against
the FXML file location.

Yes - that's what I meant: if you use absolute URL or paths relative
to the FXML file in your FXML, then SB will be able to deal with them.
If you use a classpath relative path - whether @/ or classpath:,
then it will depend on whether you've entered/set up the proper
configuration. In the developer preview - using classpath relatives
paths will not work - that's one of the preview limitations.

And (@Daniel) I'm not saying that I don't like the
classpath: URLs - They have the big advantage of making it clear
that the file must be looked up using the classpath :-)
