Description Mitchell Cope CLA 2003-12-21 13:55:46 EST 
When I use the scrapbook to execute some program code that needs to retrieve a 
resource through a ClassLoader, the ClassLoader fails to find the url for the 
resource.

This is the line which fails:
URL url = classLoader.getResource(resource);
(where resource is a string like "com/antelmann/resource/properties").

Executing the same code through using Run or Debug, the url is found and the 
resource file is obtained for getting properties off of the resource, a flat 
file containing some properties.

Retrieving resources is performed relative to the working directory. You can 
set the working directory on the "Scrapbook Runtime" properties of a scrapbook 
file (i.e. context menu: "Properties -> Scrapbook Runtime").

According to the release notes

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_2_1_2.html#I-Platform-
Core

this is a known issue related to problems with classloaders in created threads. 
Applying the given suggestion worked for my scrapbook page.
