How to set a new link images

Michele Pegoraro (1.8k●12●114●102) | asked Nov 22 '11, 11:03 a.m.

Hi,
I've create a new link type and I'd like to add an image for each EndPoint.
I've put the images into my plugin project and I've set relative path to images into plugin.xml:

&lt;endpoint&gt;

  &lt;itemReferenceType&gt;

&lt;/endpoint&gt;

On client side, if I put my jar into dropins folder I can see the images. Instead, on server side, I can't see the images and I get these exceptions:

22-Nov-2011 16.52.28 com.ibm.team.links.common.internal.registry.LinkTypeRegistry$Impl createIconURL

Does someone know how to set images in order to be seen both on client and server side? Can I add them to process attachment? In this case which path do I have to use in plugin.xml?

Thanks,
Michele.

Sorry, the endpoint is not visible... i repost-it without tag

endpoint

    displayName=&quot;ChangeSetDeliveratiInCo&quot;

    icon=&quot;icons/DevCo.gif&quot;

    id=&quot;CSDeliveredCo&quot;

    multiplicity=&quot;0..1&quot;&gt;

        itemReferenceType

            itemTypeName=&quot;ChangeSet&quot;

            packageURI=&quot;com.ibm.team.scm&quot;

        /itemReferenceType

/endpoint

It's all about the answers!
