This turns out to affect JPA, but only because it looks for a URL for the root of the classpath using ClassLoader.getResource("") which barfs in an app launched from an executable JAR. It's easy to make a special case for "" in the class loader, so I went ahead and did that. Possibly need to think what the implication of getResources("") is as well (not tested in an app yet).
