When the VSM is defined and tested in a runtime, Custom bundled image shapes are not visible. Would it be possible to apply the same mechanism as Java services, which can now be defined and tested in the same runtime ? Other point: in the documentation, the sentence "The image label displayed in VSMs (suffixed with the plug-in name where the bundled image shape extension is declared)." is ambigous. I suggest to rewrite it as follows: "The image label displayed in VSMs (it will be suffixed with the plug-in name where the bundled image shape extension is declared).

If we want fidelity with the behavior once deployed that would require parsing the extension point and to plug it in a way that we are 100% sure it won't interfere with the normal operation once deployed. For the Java services this is achieved with a specific extension point which is only implemented by a plugin in the specifier support or we would risk interfering and would add a dependency to PDE pretty deep down in the stack.
