[platform-dev] Question regarding the "plugin://" and bundleentry:// URL

["Becker, Matthias" <ma.becker@xxxxxxx>]

Dear platform experts,

in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=532695 I try to implement a mechanism in JFace’s ImageDescriptors to replace icons based on the currently active theme.
For this I need your help.

Image files are access in JFace’s Image descriptors either:
1) Via location and filename
2) Via URL

For 1):
ImageDescriptor createFromFile(Class<?> location, String filename)
  Exmaple: 
   location: class org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.FieldDecorationRegistry
   filename: images/contassist_ovr.png

For 2(
ImageDescriptor createFromURL(URL url)
  Example: bundleentry://1128.fwk934223763/eclipse16.png

But I would like to register replacements based the plugin://bundle-symbolic-name/path_to_icon" format.

Is there a way to transform the IamgeDescriptor’s input to the "plugin://bundle-symbolic-name/path_to_icon" format
and vise-versa?

Regards,
Matthias
