Hi,
I've used some example code from the following article on www.eclipse.org
Using Images in the Eclipse UI (Revised for 2.0)
The method in question is:
private Image getIconImage(String name)
{
String iconPath = "icons/";
ImageDescriptor descriptor = null;
try {
URL installURL =
SubethaclipsePlugin.getDefault().getDescriptor().getInstallU RL();
URL url = new URL(installURL, iconPath + name);
descriptor = ImageDescriptor.createFromURL(url);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("MalformedURLException: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
}
return descriptor.createImage();
}
While this seems to work, the following are deprecated:
The method getDescriptor() from the type Plugin is deprecated
The method getInstallURL() from the type IPluginDescriptor is deprecated
I'm hoping someone can give me a hint as to what is the suggested way of
creating an Image object given a "gif" file located within the project. I'm
by no means an expert in the Eclipse framework, hence my turning to the
article in the first place for some example code.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ben

I found another post with a solution to this. Here is the example:
MyPlugin plugin extends AbstractUIPlugin
String relativeURL = "icon/myimage.png"
Image image = plugin.getImageRegistry().get( relativeURL );
if ( image == null ) {
URL imageURL = plugin .getBundle().getEntry( relativeURL );
ImageDescriptor descriptor = ImageDescriptor.createFromURL(imageURL);
Image image = descriptor.createImage();
plugin.getImageRegistry().put( relativeURL , image );
}
