[tigerstripe-dev] Icon extension point...

["Steve Jerman (stjerman)" <stjerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

The icon extension point doesn't work in practise.... have raised a bug.

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244446

 

So the primary issue is that the Metadata factory is keys off of the implementation class fqn. There are two issues with this.. 1) shoudn't/can't reference them in the extension point. (2) the metadata lookup overrides this and searches for the simple name only.

 

So...

 

1) I think the key needs to be changed so that is based on the simple name.

2) A new extension point added that allows just the icons to be overriden based on the simple name of the class...

 

I will code this up let me know if you have issues..
