Is it possible to load an image from a file without create a new image?
I mean:
I know we can do the following:
Image image=new Image(display, nameOfFile)....
But, can i load an image whithout use "new Image". I have a table and i
will to add an icon to a tableitem . If i do "new image", i must dispose
this image later. I wish to know whether i can load an image directly
from a file in the HD, something like:
Image image=loadImageFromDisk(nameOfFile), and later do:
tableItem.setImage(image).
This way i don't need to dispose it because i haven't created with "new
Image".
Is this possible? Thanks!!!

No, you'll have to dispose the images you create. You can, however, share images if you include the JFace libraries.
See org.eclipse.jface.resource.ImageDescriptor which can be used to reference an image without creating it.
To have your application share images, you can use ImageDescriptor and org.eclipse.jface.resource.JFaceResources.getResources() / org.eclipse.jface.resource.LocalResourceManager to cache/reuse images.
