Sorry for selfreplying but I found a way to do it in the meantime:

CmsObject cms = OpenCms.initCmsObject("FileReader");
cms.loginUser("user", "pass");
CmsResource res = cms.readResource(new CmsUUID("dd8e049e-c2d4-11dd-
a9f2-0015174f605e"));

But unfortunately it produces an error:
"Error reading resource with the ID dd8e049e-c2d4-11dd-a9f2-0015174f605e."

Any idea why?

Best regards,
Yves
