@neilcsmith-net We are not necessarily talking about different things. If I get it right, you propose to have a new API to locate SVG icons. In this proposal, that would be the GeneralIcon class serving as an icon catalog, and the WhateverIcon interface as the actual image retriever/handler and or metadata holder. The reason I have not dug deeper on that, is that I do not know the use cases and when I was working with Images in Java was 19 years ago. So someone else needs to bring his/her knowledge on the table. The LegacyIconLocator is just the other side of the bridge. It would allow old module code to work with the new icons, at the cost of introducing a runtime dependency. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
