Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] How to provide HDPI icons in your plug-in

+1 for Antoine proposal.

We in Eclipse Platform collect all our icons in the eclipse.image repo
but I think a shared icon repo would be nice.
In our repo the folder location is designed to allow "copy and paste"
the generated icons to our projects, which helps a lot for adapting
icon changes.

Best regards, Lars
