Thanks for your bug report, and sorry about the delay.

I verified that it was me who commited the change in
question (see
http://www.kaffe.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kaffe/libraries/javalib/java/lang/Class.java.diff?r1=1.32&r2=1.33
) I checked the latest version of the spec and it says
that :

"This method delegates the call to its class loader,
after making these changes to the resource name: if
the resource name starts with "/", it is unchanged;
otherwise, the package name is prepended to the
resource name after converting "." to "/". If this
object was loaded by the bootstrap loader, the call is
delegated to ClassLoader.getSystemResource."

(see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResource(java.lang.String)
)

I interpret the spec in the way that it's up to the
actual class loader implementation to remove the
leading '/'. I've attached a patch that allows to use
resource names as in        
Class.class.getResource("/java/lang/Class.class")
again. Could you give it a try and tell me if it fixes
the problem you are experiencing?

best regards,
