hi there,
i have a very basic question about an eclipse plugin project.
in my project directory, i have an folder named "images" with all my icons
(e.g. for a tree). as long as i start the application as an normal java
applet, it works fine - i just load the graphic via:
new Image(Display.getCurrent(), "images/" + imagefilename);
but when i start my application as an eclipse plugin, it does not work
anymore - file not found io exception.
how can i configure my plugin in a way, so that it is possible to include
this folder and load these images?
i already included the image-folder in my "Binary Build" in the Build-Tab of
the Plugin-Configuration, but that did not work.
thanks in advance,
florian

The problem is that
new Image(Display.getCurrent(), "images/" + imagefilename);
says to look for the images directory in the current directory. The
current directory when running a plugin IS NOT the plugin's directory.
It is something else.
The best way to do images is to put the image directory in the root of
your java source folder and then use:
Image image = null;
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/"+imagefilename);
if (in != null) {
try {
image = new Image(Display.getCurrent(), in);
} catch (SWTException e) {
if (e.code != SWT.ERROR_INVALID_IMAGE) {
throw e;
// fall through otherwise
}
} finally {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
NOTE: Please take note of the leading '/' in "/images/". It is important
because otherwise the getResourceAsStream will put the package name as a
folder structure in front of the images folder and it won't find it.
This will then work whether run as an application or as a plugin.
