getClass().getResource("...") returns null?

My plugin is having trouble finding it's resources in the jar file.
I am trying to add a fileproducer with:
<code>
      addConfiguredFileproducer(new FileProducer(getDestinationDir(), 
"{0}SpringServiceImpl.java", 
getClass().getResource("SpringServiceImpl.vm")));
</code>
However, when this code executes (built using the middlegen build.xml and 
executed using a custom project build.xml), I receive a <code>template can't 
be null</code> error message from the file producer constructor.
I checked my middlegen-spring-plugin-2.1.jar, and the SpringServiceImpl.vm is 
sitting beside my SpringPlugin.class.  What did i miss here? :s
Thank you for any help,
  Joel Hillacre
