> I have nothing against loading SVG icons in `ImageUtilities`, but I am concerned about making NetBeans Platform too [heavyweight](http://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/HeavyWeight). I don't want to see any new JAR files in `netbeans/platform/lib/` directory.

There is nothing holy about the platform/lib folder? macOS and Windows are moving to HiDPI screens. Most users seem to be on Windows so it makes sense to handle some sort of vectorial icons. As a desktop platform, NetBeans Platform must support vectorial icons out of the box -- any modern app would need it. This does not seem something optional, it's just getting to current-day configurations.
Anybody that wants a slimmed down Platform can probably easily recompile it and remove some modules.
I'm curious which apps use the platform and would use a modern Apache NetBeans Platform version but wouldn't want to support HiDPI screens?
