The problem is that for the plugin.xml it looks for the icons starting
in the root of the plugin.
But it is different for images for Buttons. new Image(display,filename)
looks for the image files in the current directory, which is NOT your
plugin.
Your images for buttons and such need to be in your library jar (i.e. in
the classpath of the plugin, not in the root directory of the plugin)
AND you need to use:
new Image(Display.getCurrent(), getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path to
file icon in jar"));
Also, you need to dispose of the image when you are done.
