Experienced Java programmers all know what a resource is, and are used
to adjusting file locations external to the program to have them still
considered resources in different contexts, e.g. debugging, running
locally, running on a server, running as an Applet.

If you start monkeying with that, you are going to cause 100 times as
much confusion as you imagine you are avoiding.
