Execution from packaged jar fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Within our environment it is necessary to execute the tests from the packaged 
jar file. This fails because WildcardPatternSuite.getBaseDir() returns a File. 
For us it would be better if it would return an InputStream instead.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
You can reproduce the problem by following the steps described on:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18055189/why-my-uri-is-not-hierarchical

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is a runing test suite.
Instead I get an exception:
Testcase: initializationError(<myPackage>.MyUnitTests): 
Caused an ERROR URI is not hierarchical
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical

Any updates on this? It is still happening.

Can't run the tests from bazel as the tests are always run from a packaged jar.

Same issue here. Anyone have details where exactly junit-toolbox needs to be fixed?
