I'd do it more directly with:

InputStream fis = MyApp.class.getResourceAsStream( "Common.properties"

Your way is going to get into trouble on two counts:

1. unsigned Applets are not permitted to tinker with Classloaders

2. the classloader for java.lang.SystemProperties is not necessarily
the same one used for finding your App and its resources.
