JDK 8
8u40Resolved

After JDK-8001167, JDK demo jfc/Java2D/Java2Demo.html no longer works because local applet could not get codebase and all operations related to it will fail.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install JRE 8b103
2. download demo from http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jdk/1.8.0/promoted/latest/bundles/windows-i586/jdk-8-ea-bin-b103-windows-i586-demos-14_aug_2013.zip and unzip it somewhere to local disk
3. run demo jfc/Java2D/Java2Demo.html locally in browsers (you need to set security level to medium, otherwise it could not be run)
4. after accepting unsigned security dialog, if you see exception as below, then the issue is reproduced:
==========
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at sun.awt.SunToolkit.createImage(SunToolkit.java:798)
    at java2d.DemoImages.getImage(DemoImages.java:95)
    at java2d.DemoImages.newDemoImages(DemoImages.java:72)
    at java2d.Java2Demo.<init>(Java2Demo.java:140)
    at java2d.Java2DemoApplet.init(Java2DemoApplet.java:122)
    at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.AWTAppletAdapter.init(Unknown Source)
    at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724)
===========

If you access the same page remotely, then it's working fine. - http://sqeweb.us.oracle.com/net/sqenfs-1/export1/comp/jsn/users/stephen/deployment_stuff/do.NOT.remove.me/jdk1.8.0/demo/jfc/Java2D/Java2Demo.html .

Suggested fix:
Now to load resource inside the applet jar, we could use getResoruceAsStream. Code like
========
img = ImageIO.read(cmp.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/" + name));
========

is working fine.

JDK-8025917 adds text to readme that some demo applets need to be accessed through the HTTP or HTTPS protocols to enable access to the required resources. Thus closing this as not an issue.

Once I see SQE-OK - I'll approve. Please update the fixedVersion field.

defer request. The demos are part of the JDK and can't be fixed later in the release cycle. Not a release stopper.
