If foo is at the root of the plugin folder, you need to include a '/' as 
in "/foo/file.txt". Otherwise foo is added at the end of the package of 
the Class used to call the getResourceAsStream method.  If called from 
com.somepackage.AClass, the class loader will look for the file 
"com/somepackage/foo/file.txt".
