It would be nice if there were a way to specify a Image path for a default case for a list of objects by using EL. The idea is that for a list of objects where there may be some special condition where the image should change, like imagine you have a list of columns in a Entity element and one of those columns is the Primary key. It would be nice to use EL to change the image path for some elements that have a particular boolean property. ${isPrimary() ? "icons/column_primary.gif" : "icons/column.gif"}
Enhancement implemented. You can now use expressions pretty much any place where image specification is done in sdef. Added a few examples of this in the gallery and architecture samples. Added a blurb to the 0.3 what's new document. Here is a sample expression: <image>${ Dependencies.Size == 0 ? "images/component-leaf.png" : "images/component.png" }</image> The most common usage is expected to be as above with image specified with a string literal path within an expression, but you can also now define custom functions via Sapphire extension system that directly return ImageDescriptor objects.
Just verified after installing latest hudson build. What is nice is this also works dynamically when properies changes (very nice!). So for me this satifies bug342777 for me since I am going to use the EL instead of an ImageProvider but I understand if you want to leave that bug open for future enhancement.
Closing as verified based on Comment #2.
