Hi,

I just updated my Eclipse from Indigo to Juno.

Surprisingly the WMF file format seems not to be supported any more.
The constructor

Image image = new Image(Display.getDefault(), "image.wmf");

will throw an SWTException: Unsupported or unrecognized format.

With Eclipse Indigo there was no problem.

For my RCP application displaying WMF files is essential, so I really appreciate any ideas!

I've just discovered the problem:

new Image(Display.getDefault(), "L:/image.wmf"); works, while
new Image(Display.getDefault(), "/L:/image.wmf"); does not work!

The second path string is returned by java.net.URL.getPath().

The exception that was thrown was a bit missleading!

*solved* Smile

By the way...
new Image(Display.getDefault(), "L:/image.gif"); and
new Image(Display.getDefault(), "/L:/image.gif"); both work!!
