I think you've mis-read my mail. I was just observing that newbie/simple 
programs executed by the source file launcher are unlikely to need to 
locate the class bytes via the getResourceXXX APIs. That doesn't mean 
the issue should be ignored, it just means it may not be high priority. 
In any case, I see Jon has created an issue to track this. Also the URL 
protocol handler pluggability that was added in Java SE 9 will help as 
it makes me it easy for the jdk.compiler module to include a 
URLStreamHandlerProvider.
