A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Wrong icon in modal alerts created using JOptionPane. If creating a modal dialog using JOptionPane and using the message types: warning, information, question or error. Then the icon used is a folder icon and not a icon representing applications. When using information or question message types, the problem is acute as only the folder icon is used

REGRESSION.  Regression from Apple's Java 6uX

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
a) Launch the attached code snipped and look at the icons used in the modal alerts displayed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Application icons used in modal alerts as background for modal dialog alert icon
ACTUAL -
Folder icons used in modal alerts as background for modal dialog alert icon

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
