Description

The UIMAClassLoader stategy is to load from this class loader before delegating to its parent. It does this for classes, but missed doing this for "resources" obtained by getResource.

I think this should be fixed so that a Pear, trying to load its resource, will get that resource, and not a same-named one from some parent classloader.

This might break some existing use cases, as it changes where some resources will come from.
