Classpath-relative URLs in CSS

Hi,

sure, I'll create a ticket. This is on 8u11. Please see also below.

Ok, in my case the style is not inline but in a stylesheet. When 
execution gets to this conditional inside URLConverter.decode,

it always enters that block and finds a return statement. Only after 
that block the classloader would be asked but it never gets there. I can 
imagine it would work with an inline style.

The resource must be copied to the bin directory because I can access it 
in code even if the resource is in another project. But CSS doesn't see 
it - that's what puzzles me so much.
