Relative paths when loading images [message #152310]

I use an image figure with the following code:

Image i = new Image(null, "pics/host.gif");
ImageFigure iFig = new ImageFigure(i);
return iFig;

The problem is that host.gif cannot be found although it exists! If I use a
full path (eg: c:/project/pics/host.gif) the image is created successfuly.

The strange this it that when creating the icon for the model I can use
relative paths:

ImageDescriptor.createFromFile(MyPlugin.class, "pics/host-icon.gif")

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
George

In second case you already provided location (in "MyPlugin.class" argument).

In first case you may have something like this:

Image i = new
Image(null,MyPlugin.class.getResourceAsStream("pics/host.gif));
