Description Robert Jenks CLA 2003-10-13 17:04:39 EDT 
It's really quite inconvienent that ImageLoader (and ImageData) cannot be
extended.  In my particular case I would like to add SVG support to SWT and use
the images in an identical fasion that I can currently use officially suported
image types.

The only way I can do this today is to write my own ImageLoader which adds the
ability to load SVG images.  Then violate your JavaDoc'd rules by subclassing
ImageData to override the scaledTo(...) method behavior to do vector based
scaling in the case of SVG images.

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 and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. 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.
