+     * Returns a stream whose elements are the URLs of all the resources with

+     * can be accessed by class code in a way that is independent of the
+     * location of the code.
+     *
+     * Resources in a named module are private to that module. This method does
+     * not find resources in named modules.
+     *
+     * <p> The name of a resource is a {@code /}-separated path name that
+     * identifies the resource.
+     *
+     * <p> The search order is described in the documentation for {@link
+     * #getResource(String)}.
+     *
+     * <p> The resources will be located when the returned stream is evaluated.
+     * If the evaluation results in an {@code IOException} then the I/O
+     * exception is wrapped in an {@link UncheckedIOException} that is then
+     * thrown.
+     *
+     * @apiNote When overriding this method it is recommended that an
+     * implementation ensures that any delegation is consistent with the {@link
+     * #getResource(java.lang.String) getResource(String)} method. This should
+     * ensure that the first element returned by the stream is the same
+     * resource that the {@code getResource(String)} method would return.
+     *
+     * @param  name
+     *         The resource name
+     *
+     * @return  A stream of resource {@link java.net.URL URL} objects. If no
+     *          resources could  be found, the stream will be empty.  Resources
+     *          that the class loader doesn't have access to will not be in the
