This is probably broken on every platform....

/*
java.applet.Applet.getCodeBase() returns NullPointerException
if the Applet is used as an application.

Compiling and running this program results in:

% javac AppletExample.java
% java AppletExample
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.applet.Applet.getCodeBase(Applet.java:110)
        at AppletExample.start(AppletExample.java:41)
        at AppletExample.main(AppletExample.java:48)

----------

Applet.java contains the following code at line 110:

    public URL getCodeBase() {
        return stub.getCodeBase();
    }

It needs to make sure "stub" isn't null. getCodeBase() should
return null if "stub" is null.

i.e.

    public URL getCodeBase() {
        return (stub == null ? null : stub.getCodeBase());
    }

Workaround? none
