Images not found by SWTResourceManager

[deffer]

Hi all, I am developing an eclipse plugin application. In the icons folder there are some images to be displayed by the application. I have made sure that the icons folder is included in the bin.includes section of the build.properties file, but the application tries to show the images they are not found. I am using SWTResourceManager.getImage("icons/Selection.bmp") but a red square appears in the application instead of the actual image. I have unsuccessfully tried all variants of the image path ("/icons/Selection.bmp" - "Selection.bmp"). Where should the icons folder be placed in order for them to be read by the SWTResourceManager?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about structure of your project.
In case of simple SWT application you can put images into classpath, use "Classpath resource" in image selection dialog.

Code: Select all

      {
         Button button = new Button(m_shell, SWT.NONE);
         button.setImage(SWTResourceManager.getImage(Application_1.class, "/test/icons/folder_package.gif"));
         button.setText("New Button");
      }

Image is the classpath, it is in the icon folder of the src/main/resources folder which is in the classpath. I use SWTResourceManager.getImage("/incon/Selection.bmp"); but instead a red square keeps showing up

Are your icons being packaged as part of your plugin?

Feel free to send us a complete test case that illustrates the problem.

I am sure that images are packed with the rest of the application. I have found a workaround, I had to add a dummy class (DummyClass) to the icon folder and call the SWTResourceManager.getImage(DummyClass.class,"/icon/Selection.bmp") method and it works, if you are aware of any other solution please let me know.

Thanks

Works for me with attached project.

Code: Select all

      {
         Button button = new Button(m_shell, SWT.NONE);
         button.setImage(SWTResourceManager.getImage(Application_1.class, "/icons/preference_transfer.png"));
         button.setText("New Button");
      }
