The image initializer in FieldDecorationRegistry is triggered during startup. Maybe we can use the same tricks as in the content manage of using a static field for this or create the images on demand?

Alex, something for you?

This will need a bit of work to investigate how to do properly.

The static block is used to pre-fill images in the registry and there are a variety of public calls that are used via the instance initialiser that could be used.

I suspect a refactoring of the code would be appropriate but will require some work. It may be that we use the JFaceResource DeferredImage to delay loading the images.
