Sergey - have you consider clarifying the javadoc as part of this
change?
I can add clarification that this is a shortcut to the
getResourceAsStream/getResource which simplify loading of images, but
the current implementations of getResourceAsStream/getResource change
from time to time, so I am not sure that I can describe some stable
behavior.
With the updated implementation then you are isolated from possible
changes. You are right that there may be changes on resource
encapsulation and okay with me if you put all changing the spec until then.
One thing that could be done, separate issue if you want, is update the
@return to say that it returns null if the resource is not found or the
resource could not be loaded as an Image. That might be clearer than the
existing wording.
