Label ICON in a modal dialog doesn't display! Why? [message #902769]

Hi,

in my GUI RCP plug-in I use icons for marking some of the controls. Everything works fine except of when I do it in a modal dialog. Then, the icons in front of the label controls are not displayed!
I don't understand why it is so: in normal forms the icons are shown correctly, in modal dialogs they don't appear at all.

I use the same call everywhere:

Image image = ResourceManager.getPluginImage("<my-plugin-id>", "icons/myicon.jpg");
lblSettingName.setImage(image);

Can you help me out?
Thanks in advance
Andreas

I believe this is OS or SWT limitation.
Do you have icon if you run this dialog outside of WindowBuilder?

What I forgot to mention: when I start my program in Eclipse then everything works fine. Icons appear correctly, in the modal dialog, as well.
But if I start the program stand-alone, outside of Eclipse and WindowBuilder, then the error is there.

May be you don't include your icons into application?
Is your program an RCP application?
You can not use "getPluginImage" in non-RCP ones, just because there are no plugins in other case.

The icons are in the application. The are inside of the jar plug-in file.
Yes, my plug-in is a part of an RCP application.

Sorry, I don't know without looking to very specific example.
