The problem is that implementation of getResources and findResources always
return empty enumerations.

There's a (partial) patch proposed in this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath-patches/2004-10/msg00079.html
but I am not convinced this is the right solution.  In particular it seems
to assume an uncompressed classpath.  And also, it's only for boot.class.path,
not for resources that are available in regular classpath.  And yet, we do
not want to read boot.class.path jars with java - for performance reasons.

This should not be too hard to implement the pieces the right way, though.
Support for resources enumeration on boot.class.path will require native
help (returning array of strings and putting them in an enumeration object).

For class.path - it seems to me that our system class loader 
(gnu.java.lang.SystemClassLoader) is missing findResources implementation.
I think systemFindResource could be extended to look for multiple resources,
not just the first one.

Thanks for reporting this problem, we should be able to fix it now that we
know what's missing.
