Strange issue with getResourceAsStream()

["Steve D. Perkins" <steve at steveperkins dot net>]

	I'm working with a GCJ natively-compiled Java application using SWT for 
its GUI.  I'm setting the icon for the top-level window using a small 
bitmap file.  SWT pulls this in as an InputStream, in my experimentation 
I have tried both getResourceAsStream() and getSystemResourceAsStream() 
to generate an InputStream for this bitmap.  Below is the behavior I'm 
finding:

- When I compile my application to a plain class file and run it with 
the JVM interpreter, the application has no problem finding the bitmap 
file and setting the window icon accordingly.  Everything works fine in 
this scenerio.

- When I use GCJ's "--resource" flag to compile the bitmap into an 
object, and then link that object with my Java to form a standalone 
executable, things do not work.  I'm getting 
"org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Unsupported or unrecognized format".

- This does NOT mean that the application is unable to find the bitmap 
at runtime!  I've done other experiments where I bundle up a text file, 
then read in that file and ouput it inside of my application.  This 
works fine.  For some reason, bitmap data is apparently corrupted 
somehow during this process.

	Has anyone seen this before, is it a known issue of some kind?  My 
first hunch is that something different needs to be done for compiling 
binary resources rather than ASCII ones, but I've found nothing about 
this in my searches through the mailing list archives.
