[Advanced-java] Searching files in a classpath

[cswanson@xxxxxxxxxx (Carl Swanson)]

I have some files in my classpath I want to read from,
but I don't know the names, how many, or even if they are there.

Is there any Java mechanism to search the class path
to find them? Like all the files under a certain directory/package name?
I know I can just open the dir handle and read them that way, but
I thought there might be a better way.

Thanks,

Carl
