Download ResourceBundle from pathpath class

I have two jar files. One of the cans should read the language pack from another can. Here is the basic structure of both cans

jar1    
   | --com.example.BundleLoader 



jar2
   | --strings
         | --language.properties
         | --language_fr.properties

The language pack is on the way to the classes. To read language packs using BundleLoader, I am trying to use ResourseBundle with ClassLoader.

This is how i try to do it

<--snipet-->
private ResourceBundle englishStrings = null;
private ResourceBundle frenchStrings = null;

<---snippet--->
        System.out.println("About to load url from classpath for properties file "+bundleLocation);
        URL url=ClassLoader.getSystemResource(bundleLocation);
        bundleLocation=url.toString();
        System.out.println("Ok loaded it");
        System.out.println("url is "+(url==null?"not available":url.toString())); //Got the folder location

        try {
            URL[] urls = {new URL(bundleLocation)}; //created array of ULRs to be loaded by URLClassLoader
            this.englishStrings = ResourceBundle.getBundle("validationStrings", Locale.getDefault(),new URLClassLoader(urls)); //Exception here
            this.frenchStrings = ResourceBundle.getBundle("validationStrings", Locale.FRENCH,new URLClassLoader(urls));             
            } catch (MalformedURLException e1)
            {// TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }

    }

Basically, I cannot find packages, even if the properties files are in a folder. Has anyone come across this? I guess someone has done this before.

Thank.
