Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-07-18 04:43:34 EDT 
On April 27, 2006, the following change modified the documented API result of
SystemBasePlugin.getIconPath():

SystemBasePlugin:1.5
ddykstal
Changed the way images URLs are constructed. Used "/" as separator everywhere instead of File.separator. URLs must use "/". When packaging plugins as jars, the URL requirements appear to be much more strict.

Old clients who were used to do getIconPath() expected a result of "icons/"
but now they get "icons"

I think the API should be reverted to its original state.
Comment 1 David Dykstal CLA 2006-08-07 11:42:30 EDT 
getIconPath was changed back to providing the trailing "/".
All code using getIconPath (including samples and tutorials) was checked to ensure this was taken into account.

[target cleanup] 1.0 M4 was the original target milestone for this bug
