Ability to bundle the profiles into a jar file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to bundle the language profiles in a jar file to reduce clutter.  
However, the DetectorFactory API is quite restrictive in what it allows you to 
pass as the location of the profiles.

If it were possible to pass in a URL, then I think this would be a lot more 
convenient.

DetectorFactory.loadProfile can be used as the below.
See also http://code.google.com/p/language-detection/issues/detail?id=9#c4

    DetectorFactory.loadProfile(new File(MyClass.class.getResource("profiles").toURI()));

I'll write it in a suitable document. Thanks.

This code gives me the following error when the profiles are in a jar:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical

Where does your "MyClass" put? 
I am probably afraid that Java class can only load resouces in the jar which 
itself is belonging.

Actually it doesn't matter whether it is in the same jar or a different one.  
You just can't convert a jar URL/URI into a file. Here's a short demonstration:

grater:uri tx$ cat UriToFile.java 

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URL;

class UriToFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL url = UriToFile.class.getResource("UriToFile.class");
        System.out.println("URL: " + url);
        URI uri = url.toURI();
        System.out.println("URI: " + uri);
        File file = new File(uri);
        System.out.println("File: " + file);
    }
}

grater:uri tx$ javac UriToFile.java
grater:uri tx$ java UriToFile
URL: file:/Users/tx/test/uri/UriToFile.class
URI: file:/Users/tx/test/uri/UriToFile.class
File: /Users/tx/test/uri/UriToFile.class

grater:uri tx$ jar cf uritofile.jar UriToFile.class
grater:uri tx$ java -classpath uritofile.jar UriToFile
URL: jar:file:/Users/tx/test/uri/uritofile.jar!/UriToFile.class
URI: jar:file:/Users/tx/test/uri/uritofile.jar!/UriToFile.class
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not 
hierarchical
    at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:363)
    at UriToFile.main(UriToFile.java:12)
grater:uri tx$

Umm, I see. You are right.
Then I guess it is the best solution that loadProfiles receive a array of 
profile data(JSON strings). How do you think?

That would be ideal, I think.  Then we could load it any way we want (including 
putting them all in one file even, perhaps.)

I've supported loadProfiles(List<String>) at trunk of the repository.
