No absolute paths

[Benjamin Cordes]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it would be better to have all resources loaded as resourcestream, without absolute paths. A few things depend on absolute path. OptionsJson uses

JSONObject fileJSON = (JSONObject) (parser.parse(FileSystem.readFromFile(filePaths.get(i))));

There are some solutions which uses Apache's commons io, which I think are easiest. ResourceStream seems to me to have some strange edge cases, when used inside an IDE.

quote @desrever "IIRC getResourceAsStream() by default is relative to the class's package." "We should move to resourcestreams wherever we can"

The best IMO would be to put resource under source, as in the standard layout of Maven.
