I don't know the answer to this right now. Your best
bet is to CC yourself on this bug on the subject: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223256.

FileLocator#getBundleFile in org.eclipse.equinox.common,
or refer to the resources as streams (using FileLocator#find methods).
Since it has always been possible for OSGi bundles to be located in various
places, it's never a good idea to make assumptions at runtime  about
where they are found on disk. The FileLocator API is designed to help with
this.
