A PathResolver is used for each component of the classpath.
Each type of component is a specialization of this base class. For example, a jar file
encountered in the classpath causes a JarResolver to be instantiated. A JarResolver knows how to
search within jar files for specific files.
This approach is taken for two reasons:
- To encapsulate the specifics of fetching streams and what attributes are set on a jar
entry's manifest entry.
- To provide an association between the source of a class (or resource) and the
repository from which it came. This info is priceless when trying to figure out why the wrong
classes are being included in your jar.
