Hi,

How can I access that images shown for different resources in Explorer in Workbench.
E.g. Java file it is an Image with a J and for C++ it is a file with C on....

Any hints on how I can do it.

there is no way for this in SWT, nor in AWT/Swing. You will have to go to some library that directly interfaces with the OS, such as this

First a correction: You CAN get the OS icon with Program.getImageData().

I don't know if/where Eclipse exposes its file type images. You should
ask this on the eclipse.platform newsgroup.
