support resources

[cvogt]

just like src/main/resources/ but top-level resources/. Should end up on the classpath and in the jar.

[cvogt]

added support for projects loading files from their own resources and resources of their dependencies: #293

What still does not work though is for libraries to load resources from the classpath that depends on them. This is necessary for things like application.conf used by play, spray, etc.

this is actually related to the same problems with configuration in OSGI, as described here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/akka-user/gWXONNJ-cvw
So for example for Akka HTTP the fix would be as described, use the ActorSystem.apply methods that takes a classloader and just pass in your application's classloader.

ActorSystem(
  name, config, this.getClass.getClassLoader
)

@cvogt I actually had some prototype of that. Didn't have a chance to finish it

[cvogt]

I actually have a fix for the remaining issue now. So we should be ok :). Would still be nice to see the code of your prototype, even if not ready, just for comparison.

[cvogt]

ok, so #343 adds support for running code with a flat classloader which should solve problems with parents trying to load classes or resources from their children.

[cvogt]

Actually flatClassLoader did NOT fix the problem for akka http, because it looks into the systemclassloader and cbt does not use that for applications. The solution is either telling akka the correct classloader like this: #455 or forking the process like this: #457
