I've created a patch that fixes this issue. Tested against a site which
would previously fail due to no CODE attribute:

Timothy's reported applets on jigzone,com still fail since they don't have a WIDTH or HEIGHT attribute specified.

GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x6229b0: GCJ_SetWindow return
Warning: <embed> tag requires width attribute.


The Bus route planning applets reported by HappySpaceInvader still fail, but not because of the tag. They fail due to Javascript support exceptions:

** ACIS Live v2.1 - jBusMapEngine v4.3

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-java7-plugin

I am trying to access an applet from http://www.jigzone.com. The applet fails to load with error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.start(PluginMain.java:211)
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.main(PluginMain.java:73)


I am running Hardy Alpha 6 (firefox3, icedtea-java7). The applet works just fine on my Gutsy box (firefox2, sun6).

I have attached the complete console output
