Oracle returning null to getCodeBase() is a bug

[Jerry Jongerius]

Oracle claims the fix was 'security' related, and was required to prevent a 
sandboxed applet from obtaining access to "file path" information (the folder 
name where the applet is being run). But Oracle failed horrible, as explained 
in great detail here:

Google "java bug report" and submit a bug report to Oracle, as Oracle needs to 
fix this.
