call to ResourceManager in a separate plugin problem

[ezfresh]

I'm a java and rcp novice so, forgive me.

I've got an image that I'd like to use as the background for this com.xxx.UI project that I've got.
Everything worked fine when I had the com.swtdesigner package (including ResourceManager.java) within the UI project. However, I wanted to pull out any common resources and put them into a separate plugin so the plugin can be included across multiple applications. (this allows me to eliminate the com.swtdesigner package within the com.xxx.UI project)

So, I now have a com.xxx.resources plugin that includes Fonts/Colors files as well as a package that contains the ResourceManager class.

My image is in a directory within com.xxx.UI project and my call to the getPluginImage() method now calls the new com.xxx.resources plugin. Why am I getting a null when the image is returned to the UI? How can I fix the ResourceManager so that I can accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I found out what I had done.

In case someone else is as dumb as I am, I simply forgot to add
org.eclipse.core.runtime as a dependency in my new resource plugin

sigh

Yes, the getPluginImage() method requires org.eclipse.core.runtime which provides the ability to find a resource relative to a plugin.
