Dear all,

I have not found a simple method to retreive the icon image displayed by
the resource navigator for a specific extension. I suppose it is stored in
the image registry...

I there a trick, can somebody help?

TIA
Pierre

I am not sure if this is what is used in the navigator, but you might
want to take a look at org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.FileSystemElement. There
is a workbench adaptor in that class that gets the correct icon for a
file type.

HTH,
Phil

Thanx Phil & John,

Phil showed me the track.
I found that piece of code working to get the image descriptor:

...
IFile file = (IFile) element;
IWorkbenchAdapter adap = (IWorkbenchAdapter)
file.getAdapter(IWorkbenchAdapter.class);
ImageDescriptor desc = adap.getImageDescriptor(file);
...

John solution is even more sexy.
