Yes, this is the key. Version control SVG files, generate icons on build
and deploy generated stuff.

Agreed, I’m also -1000 on rendering SVG icons on the fly. I’ve actually tried
something like this, with some simple icons rendered in Graphiti using Batik.
It was just way too slow. So we ended up writing some code that rendered the
icons as PNG during the build process.
I’m not saying it cannot be done. But then I think we need something way more
powerful than Batik. Also I think some serious work on icon handling is
required. Adding support for @2x icons took quite a bit of effort. Is it really
worth it?
Best regards,

What if we bundled SVG files with Eclipse, then on first startup with a given
resolution we lazily render them to PNGs with the appropriate detail. When
Eclipse launches, it would use the .PNGs from the cache.
It could take a really long time for the first launch, but subsequent restarts
should be fairly quick since it would just be loading .PNGs from then on.

Other questions:
- Why render svg files in bitmap?
- Why not use svg icons in platform? This way the icons are always beautiful,
no matter the resolution of the screen
it would mean that the IDE would have to "render" SVG to bitmaps at runtime
(whereas we currently do it at dev-time). Given the number of icons in Eclipse IDE, there
are risks that this consume a lot of CPU (in the UI Thread moreover...) and creates lags.
But it's just a guess, I'm not aware of any actual experiment of theorical
metrics about the impact of displaying SVGs in Eclipse.
