How to create control with custom palette icon?

[lenik]

I've created a custom SWT control MyControl, and added to SWT Designer's palette.
It works.
And then I create a bean info class MyControlBeanInfo, which exports getIcon(kind).
When add class MyControl to palette, I can see the icon image in the Create Entry dialog, but after added, the icon turned back to the default icon in the palette.

If I implement BeanInfo on MyControl, rather than create a separate class MyControlBeanInfo, I can always see the icon image.
But according to java beans spec, I don't have to implement BeanInfo on MyControl, and the two classes should be separated.

The easiest way to associate an icon with a control is to just place a PNG or GIF image with same name as the component into the same package or into a sub-folder of /wbp-meta that matches the folder structure containing the actual component. For example, if you have a widget names com.foo.MyWidget, then add a image file named /com/foo/MyWidget.png or /wbp-meta/com/foo/MyWidget.png.
