public static InputStream getSystemResourceAsStream (String name)

Open for reading, a resource of the specified name from the search path used to load classes. This method locates the resource through the system class loader (see getSystemClassLoader()).

Resources in named modules are subject to the encapsulation rules specified by Module.getResourceAsStream. Additionally, and except for the special case where the resource has a name ending with " .class", this method will only find resources in packages of named modules when the package is Module.isOpen(String) unconditionally.

Parameters:

name

The resource name

Returns:  An input stream for reading the resource; null if the resource could not be found, the resource is in a package that is not opened unconditionally, or access to the resource is denied by the security manager.

Since:  1.1
