New Image("...") in JavaFX 2.2b11

Question

In JavaFX 2.2b11 Image constructor does not accept file path.
In JavaFx 2.1.1 the following line works, but not in 2.2b11:
new Image("image/1.jpg");To make it work in JavaFx 2.2b11 I have tried:
new Image("file://image/1.jpg");Is such a restriction permanent and planned?
Or maybe it is just an issue in beta?

From this Jira:
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18291 "Image class should recognize a URL beginning with a leading slash as relative to the classpath"
After discussion with Richard Bair, we decided to change the current (undocumented) behavior for paths. Currently, they are treated as user.dir relative. All path, with or without leading slash will be now resolved as relative to classpath, which will be consistent with CSS and more corresponds to what might users expect.
For user.dir relative paths, "file:" URL can be still used.See also:
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-21515 "Image JavaDoc does not document url relative path behaviour"
I think the code below should work in JavaFX 2.2, but the behaviour is different (lookup is versus the classpath rather than the filesystem).
If the lookup in a late build of 2.2 does not occur relative to the classpath, then it would be a bug.
new Image("image/1.jpg");
