MatFileReader Problems When Building in Netbeans

[sevenstarknight]

I'm getting a "URI is not hierarchical" error when I try building in Netbeans, and use a .mat file as a resource.

This isn't so much as problem with JMatIO as it is a problem with not excepting InputStream as an input to the reader, and using a .mat file as a resource. I've had to do the following:

MatFileReader reader = new MatFileReader();

    InputStream inStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(
            "/filename.mat);

    try {
        //==============================================================
        // temp fix to accomdate JMatIO
        File tempFile = File.createTempFile("mat2File", ".tmp");
        tempFile.deleteOnExit();
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
        IOUtils.copy(inStream, out);

        //===============================================================
        Map<String, MLArray> dataFromFile = reader.read(tempFile);

to get around the problem, I thought you might want to do something similar (but in the JMatIO code base)
