Class ResourceManager

  • public class ResourceManager
extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    Manages resources bundled with an application. Loads resources from the class loader of a given class. This class keeps weak references to the resources it loads so that they may be reused if they have not been garbage collected. This class does have a small overhead of references to resources that are no longer used and have been garbage collected.

        public java.lang.Object getResource​(java.lang.String filename)
        Deprecated.
        Loads a resource. The filename may either be the name of a file stored in the same path as the loader class, or the full path to the resource file.

        In most cases, a subclass should not override this method, but instead override getResource(URL), which this method calls.

        Parameters:
        filename - The filename of the resource.
        Returns:
        An object representing the resource.

      • getResource

        protected java.lang.Object getResource​(java.net.URL url)
        Deprecated.
        Retrieves an object from a URL. Each subclass may override this method to do custom loading of the resource.
        Parameters:
        url - The URL of the resource.
        Returns:
        The resource, loaded from the URL.
