Allow DefaultImageSource to resolve resources
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: RCP-630
                 URL: https://jira.springsource.org/browse/RCP-630
             Project: Spring Rich Client Project
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
         Environment: all
            Reporter: aappddeevv
            Assignee: Lieven Doclo


Allow DefaultImageSource to convert string specifications to resources for loading images. Other spring components interpret string arguments as resources depending on the "context" of the string itself e.g. ClassPathXmlApplicationContext interprets string resources as classpath resources by default.

Change DefaultImageSource to allow values in the imageResources map to be either resources or strings. Strings are converted to resources automatically by allowing DefaultImageSource to inherit from ResourceLoaderAware. We should probably also take map initialization out of the constructor or at least provide an alternative.

There are other fancier ideas for creating image resolver objects that plug in a strategy for image resolution but this is probably sufficient for now. This also allows the issue around the ResourceMapFactoryBean class being removed in spring 3.0. Users could still use PropertiesLoaderSupport if they wanted to load properties files as well as ResourceMapFactoryBean if they are still on spring 2.5
