Description Boris Bokowski CLA 2006-09-15 15:24:37 EDT 
Because ImageDescriptor.createResource calls createImage, which is spec'd to return null if the image cannot be loaded, we can only throw an unspecific exception in error cases (such as the one in bug 157478).

We should refactor this so that we can throw an exception that wraps the SWT exception, e.g. by creating a private method internalCreateImage that is called by both createResource and createImage.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
