As part of MSVM compatibility bug, the logic in Applet.getImage() was changed to check the image in archives before getting it from the codebase. Even when the resource is downloaded from the codebase, we created the Image object using the inpustream returned by getResourceAsStream().
The fix is to check for the image only in the archives. If the image is not present in the archives, create the Image object using the URL

The fix for this bug is needed for fixing 4820537 and 4880782.
However, in 1.3.1_09, the fix doesn't really fix the Java webcam issue as reported in this bug. So I'm removing the 1.3.1_09 from the "Commit to fix..." field.
