build 200205291235

Setup
- Start eclipse.
- Open the about dialog
- Observe: There is a main image.
- Exit eclipse.

1. Copy the file <install>/eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_2.0.0/eclipse_lg.gif
down into an NL-specific subdirectory; i.e., move it to
<install>/eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_2.0.0/nl/en/eclipse_lg.gif

2. Delete <install>/eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_2.0.0/eclipse_lg.gif

3. Edit <install>/eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_2.0.0/about.ini
Change the value of the aboutImage property:
aboutImage=$nl$/eclipse_lg.gif

4. Start eclipse
5. Open the about dialog

Observe: There is no main image.

Expectation: It should have found it in.

6. Edit <install>/eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_2.0.0/about.ini
Change the value of the aboutImage property:
aboutImage=nl/en/eclipse_lg.gif
7. Start eclipse
8. Open the about dialog

Observe: There is a main image again.

This suggests that the UI is correctly passing the entire path 
to IPluginDescriptor.find, but that the "$nl$" path segment is not being 
handled correctly.

This is a UI problem. 
We were prefixing the file name with the nl string
The fix in AboutInfo is to change
     url = getDescriptor().find(new Path("$nl$").append(fileName));
to
     url = getDescriptor().find(new Path(fileName));
