Hi,
i can't load an picture with ImageProvider with an absolute path. This picture isn't in my bundle or workspace, and i would use as icon in palette after.

For example these paths don't work :
"/C:/folder/img.png" or "C:/folder/img.png"

I need to use this picture in AbstractCreateFeature.getCreateImageId().

So, i want to load in ImageProvider with an absolute path, or find a way to use a Image in palette without the ImageProvider.

Thanks in advance.

The path must be part of the Eclipse workspace, external resources are not
resolvable.

I found a solution to my problem.
In org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.internal.editor.GFPaletteRoot, graphiti get image descriptor of palette elements with :

private ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor(IPaletteCompartmentEntry compartmentEntry) {
		ImageDescriptor imageDescriptor = null;
		if (compartmentEntry instanceof IEclipseImageDescriptor) {
			imageDescriptor = ((IEclipseImageDescriptor) compartmentEntry).getImageDescriptor();
		} else {
			imageDescriptor = GraphitiUi.getImageService().getImageDescriptorForId(diagramTypeProvider.getProviderId(),
					compartmentEntry.getIconId());
		}
		return imageDescriptor;
	}

So, i implements my palette element entry with IEclipseImageDescriptor :

public class MyObjectCreationEntry extends ObjectCreationToolEntry
		implements IEclipseImageDescriptor {

	public MyObjectCreationEntry(String label, String description,
			String iconId, String largeIconId, ICreateFeature createFeature) {
		super(label, description, iconId, largeIconId, createFeature);
	}

	@Override
	public ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor() {
		return SWTResourceManager.getImagedescriptor(
				Activator.class.getClassLoader(), getIconId(), false);
	}

}

After, just use MyObjectCreationEntry in MyToolBehaviorProvider.getPalette().

iconId is an absolute path (C:/folder/icon.jpg) and it works!
