Hi all,
I'd like to add that in order to better "factorize" this effort,
reducing effort and improving quality, it's also a good practice to
reuse the PlatformUI or whatever upstream projects images rather than
duplicating them.
For example, if you're dealing with some error/warnings, instead of
copying images in your plugin, consume directly
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getSharedImages(ISharedImages.IMG_DEC_FIELD_ERROR).
The benefits are multiple:
* smaller plugin jar size
* less RAM consumed as images are not duplicated
* consistency: if Platform UI or upstream adopts a new convention,
downstream projects inherit from it for free
* inheritance of @2x icons: If upstream has HiDPI icons, they're be used
by your project
Cheers,

the buildship project contact me about how to provide HDPI icons for
there project. As I assume many projects have this question, I post
here the related info.
The general support in Platform is explained here:
https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.6/platform_isv.php#high-dpi-icons
Platform has also a Maven based command line tool to renderer png in
different sizes from svg images. See
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4Notes/article.html#providing_hdpi_icons
for some info for that.
