The application I am porting to e4 had some infrastructure around sourcing icons. Mostly I had an icon sheet and could pull individual icons off of the one graphic. Additional options let me reverse, flip, crop or do other manipulations when requesting an image.
I'm wondering what options there are for Icon URIs in e4. Is there a hook somewhere that I can supply my own handler? For example it would be nice to be able to supply a URI like "joicon://name/crop:10,20x30,30" or some such that eventually calls my handler with the URI, which returns an ImageDescriptor.
If there isn't a system like that already, are there any alternatives to the platform: option?

You can define your own URI scheme handler using the OSGi URL Handler Service. See the following comment for pointers:

Your handler would transform the images into a PNG or GIF.

Perfect! That got me going. I now have a protocol that uses my internal icon sourcer/modifier.
The link you gave has some dead ends though. Searching around based on that I did find a good page here:
