  I'm not sure why you want to use properties instead
of configuring the chrome loader directly.

> jar://judy-installer.jar

  If you want to load the chrome from a jar and you
don't know the file location in advance than you need
to use the class:// protocol e.g.

  class://ChromeAnchor/..

  Note, that if you bundle your chrome not as a
standalone jar but with your Java bytecode classes you
don't need to create a resource anchor class because
you can use any of the bundled classes as a resource
anchor. See
http://luxor-xul.sourceforge.net/notes.html and
http://rachel.sourceforge.net for details.

  Let me know if this makes sense to you.
