Description DJ Houghton CLA 2005-02-24 11:11:09 EST 
We have a case where icons are shipped in fragments in the language pack and
depending on what locale you are running, different icons should appear.

Is this going to be a problem if the plug-in/fragment is shipped as a JAR?
Comment 1 Jeff McAffer CLA 2005-02-24 23:36:20 EST 
This depends very much on how you hadnel to the location information you are 
given.  Need more detail on what exactly you are doing.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-02-25 08:00:53 EST 
We want to ship a fragment with alternative icons for bidirectional languages
for the SDK.
Comment 3 Jeff McAffer CLA 2005-02-26 22:32:22 EST 
I mean really, exactly what code sequence do you want to execute on the values 
you are given in the plugin.xml.  It matters a great deal is you are doing 
getResource, getEntry, asLocalURL, ...  Need cold hard code.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-03-07 08:04:47 EST 
It is not the plugin.xml that is going to be the issue - it is going to be
creating ImageDescriptors using createFromURL and loading them using an InputStream.

We're not getting anywhere with this exchange.  Get me and show me what you are 
on about
Comment 6 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2005-05-10 12:02:35 EDT 
The loading of images is handled at the UI level through a class called
BundleUtility. This class relies on the Platform.find() APIs that looks for
files in plugins and attached fragments.
