I have the similiar problem as what was described on https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8056130.
In my case, the problem is actually caused by the use of xxx.class.getResource( "yyyy.gif") method in a JPanel used in the applet. It seems to be compiled well in JDK8.0_05 but failed with newer versions. Is getResource from the jar itself prohibited by the new version?
