This method is intended to be used as a wrapper for createFromURL() to avoid having to deal with the checked MalformedURLException. However, this method is effectively unusable, as it requires the user to already have an instance of the ImageDescriptor they want to created.
Instead, create a new, static createFromURI() method, mark the old method as deprecated and internally delegate to the new method.
The old method was created as a response to Bug 559656 [1], in order to match the signature of IResourceUtilities. But because the latter is accessed via an OSGi service, it doesn't need to be static. Which is something that doesn't really work for image descriptors.
