Description Randy Hudson CLA 2002-11-14 17:17:11 EST
I cannot find Icons without using internal API.
I need to reuse Eclipse Icons like Delete, Undo, Redo, Navigate Up, Navigate 
Into, and potentially any other Icons.

Plugins can already obtain these Icons by reaching into the org.eclipse.ui 
installation directory. But, if I do it this way I create my own 
ImageDescriptor, and ActionContributionItem will cache it separately, wasting 
OS resources. So why not make these icons (ImageDescriptors) available 
programmatically as well in SharedImages?

Could you list the specific ones you actually care about?
Comment 2 Knut Radloff CLA 2003-02-04 16:14:52 EST
Randy, which icons do you really want to use?
Comment 3 Randy Hudson CLA 2003-02-05 12:05:16 EST
We are currently reference Undo, Delete, Redo, CTOOL_NEW_WIZ, Copy, Cut, Paste. 
Many of these Icons have 2 or 3 flavors.

Released fix in >20030217. Added icons for delete, undo, redo, cut, copy, 
paste, forward, back, up, new wizard.
Need to test back at the office on Win2k since NT here does not display icons 
in menus.

Tested and images work fine.
