JDK-4754763 - getResourceAsStream() fails with JNLPClassLoader
Relates :  
JDK-4777431 - Java WS cache uses both URL-encoded and decoded names for the cache directories
Description
JNLPClassLoader returns illegal URL values from ClassLoader.findResource()
if the base directory for the cache contains characters illegal in URL's.
For example, on Windows the default deployment.userHome is commonly:
C:/XXX/Application Data/Sun/Java/Deployment
this will result of cached resource being returned as:

jar:file:C:/XXX/Application Data/Sun/Data/Deployment/cache/http/YYY/resource.jar

the space in "Application Data" is not a legal character in a url and should 
be encoded as "%20".  the returned url should be:

jar:file:C:/XXX/Application%20Data/Sun/Data/Deployment/cache/http/YYY/resource.jar
