Is it possible to extend FileFormat to include further image formats? I
wish to add an XPM format at least for my own use. The only problem that
I can see is the way FileFormat calls the appropriate class.
static final String FORMAT_PACKAGE = "org.eclipse.swt.internal.image";
static final String FORMAT_SUFFIX = "FileFormat";
static final String[] FORMATS = {"WinBMP", "WinBMP", "GIF", "WinICO",
"JPEG", "PNG", "TIFF", "OS2BMP"};
......
Class clazz = Class.forName(FORMAT_PACKAGE + '.' + FORMATS[i] +
FORMAT_SUFFIX);
fileFormat = (FileFormat) clazz.newInstance();
As far as I can see this would require that "XPM" be addaed to the
FORMATS String[] in FileFormat itself. I cannot see a way to do this
apart from copying FileFormat into a package of my own along with any
other appropriate protected class such as LEDataInputStream and
modifying it apprpriately.
