      Though not entirely clear from the spec for Applet.getCodeBase() and
      AppletContext.getCodeBase(), it seems reasonable to assume that if the class
      file for an applet is within a JAR file, then the returned code base should
      reference that location. Currently it does not.

      FILE: GetCodeBase.java

      import java.applet.Applet;

      public class GetCodeBase extends Applet {
          public void init() {
              System.out.println("getCodeBase() = " + getCodeBase());
          }
      }

      FILE: GetCodeBase.html

      <html>
      <body>

      <applet width=100 height=100 code=GetCodeBase.class archive=GetCodeBase.jar>
      </applet>

      </body>
      </html>

      OUTPUT:

      (iag@ribbit) $ java -version
      java version "1.3.0"
