I'm not quite sure of this, but does findIzPackResource looks in system
classpath for files?, standalone-compiler is not in system classpath, but in
my plugin's one, so maybe something has to be changed in order to make this
work.
In other side It seems findIzPackResource is returning null. But reading
findIzPackResource code I can't understand how is this possible, if path
variable is not null (and it isn`t) the method should return an URL like
this /lib/uninstaller.jar
If path variable is null, and it isn't because addInfo call
findIzPackResource directly with String lib/uninstaller.jar a new resource
is created, and then returned.
Any clues on this ideas?
