classpath

I want to read a bunch of text files, by loading them as resources using the context classloader.

URL url = Thread.currentThread()
                .getContextClassloader()
                .getResource("folder/foo.txt");

Is there some way to get a list of resources whose names match a given pattern? For eg:

URL[] matchingUrls = someLibrary.getMatchingResources("folder/*.txt");

Libraries like Spring can scan the classpath to find classes with a given annotation, so I am wondering if there something similar to load a bunch of resources.
