Re: Issues with loading a resource file in a plugin.

Hi Volodymyr,

as modules don't have the "src" folder, You cannot get the resource from 
it. Even more, the file will not be distributed outside Your module, so 
You'll not even find it anywhere in the netbeans subdirectories, so You 
have to get it from within Your module.

So, Your resource file is only available via the classloader, so You 
should access it like:

SomeClass.class.getResourceAsStream("com/forcenb/resources/autocomplete.xml");

Kind regards
Peter
