Description

PlasticUtilsTests."Do not urlencode file paths" fails on Ubuntu 14.04 (using openjdk7):

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical
	at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:418)
	at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.plastic.PlasticUtilsTests.Do not urlencode file paths(PlasticUtilsTests.groovy:28)

getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(".") returns
"jar:file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/pulse-java.jar!/" which is obvisiouly not the expected result.

I am not sure but I think pulse-java.jar was not part of openjdk6 in ealier versions of Ubuntu. Removing pulse-java.jar solves the problem but I dont think that's a good solution.

I think there are two issues here:
a) There's something wrong with pulse-java.jar even though I have absolutely no clue what it is.
b) Calling getResource(".") looks like a hack to me. "." is not a real resource.
