cPanel Plugin Icon not showing

Hi, I'm creating a plugin for cPanel and everything is going well so far, except the icon shows up blank. I created an install.json file with the contents:


[
  {
    "icon" : "tomcat_48x48.png",
    "group_id" : "software",
    "order" : 998,
    "name" : "Java",
    "type" : "link",
    "id" : "java",
    "uri" : "java/index.live.php",
    "featuremanager" : true,
    "feature" : "java",
    "description" : "Java Tomcat jsp war deploy"
  }
]

Then I created an archive java.tar.gz with the contents


# tar zcvf java.tar.gz install.json install.sh tomcat_48x48.png

install.json
install.sh
tomcat_48x48.png

Then I installed the plugin as root


# /scripts/install_plugin java.tar.gz --theme paper_lantern

info [install_plugin] Installing to paper_lantern
info [install_plugin] Running sprite_generator
Plugin installed ok

Everything works and the link shows up in cPanel like it's supposed to and it links to the new cPanel page I created, but there isn't an icon next to the "Java" link. It's just blank, or white, or nothing. krydos.example.org/images/java.png The first icon I tried used transparency as the background. krydos.example.org/images/tomcat_48x48.png and I also created one with white as the background in case the transparency was causing issues krydos.example.org/images/tomcat2_48x48.png but that one doesn't work either. I also tried creating a jpeg, but then the plugin installer complains that the icon needs to be .png type. Any ideas of what to try next? EDIT: I posted links to the images so people could view/download them and let me know if they were in the wrong format or something. The other image was a screenshot of what I was trying to describe about the icon being blank. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? It really stifles the troubleshooting process when you break my links.

Ok, nevermind! I just gave up messing around with it and let it sit overnight and suddenly the icon is showing up on its own. I wonder if clearing my browser cache may have helped, or maybe the cached sprite image expired and it cleared itself overnight. Either way it works now. When I create my next cPanel plugin I will try clearing the cache and see if it help the icon show up faster. If it does I will try to remember to update this post.
