Bug 80793 [Viewers] null image returned from ILabelProvider.getImage should remove any image
Reported: 2004-12-13 03:57:42 | Status: verified fixed

I20041208 (-gtk) I have an ILabelProvider which in some cases returns an image in its getImage method, in some cases it does not. If I have once set an image, and then want to remove it, I return null; however, ViewerLabel.hasNewImage treats null as "no change". IMO, if a null image is returned, the viewer should remove the image from the label, alternatively, you could provide a "NullImage" and doc its usage. Currently, there is no way I can remove an image I once set without creating an empty image myself.
