[news.eclipse.newcomer] Loading Images in plug-in

[flamereaver@xxxxxxxxxxx (Siv)]

Hi all,

I'm writing a plug-in, and when I use the setImage function on a Shell 
object, with a relative path like
	
	objShell.setImage(objDisplay,"icons/pic1.gif");

I get a java.io.FileNotFoundException (due to the relative path). It works 
properly for absolute paths.
  
How do I write a function in my plug-in that "accepts just the relative 
path of the image and returns an Image object to it". The function should 
be like...

	import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image;
	...
	public static Image getImageFunction(Display display, String filename){

		/*****************************
		 * return Image, on no error;
		 *         null, otherwise
		 *****************************
		*/
	}

Thanks in advance,
Siv

P.S. For what is is worth!
1. All source files are inside a single package inside the 'src' directory
2. The icon files are not. They are in an 'icons' directory, at the same 
level as the 'src' directory.
