Anyone know how to get icons for common file types? [message #637277]

I'm writing a file browser view thing which is like the package explorer but has random directories from the file system instead of a workspace. I'd like to reuse all the icons that package explorer uses for common file types like python scripts, text files, properties files, xml files, etc, etc. But can't seem to find any place to look up an image for a file like you can look up an editor for a file. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks

Max
