The Java UI plugin provides the Interface ISharedImages to access standard images which can be used in own plugins.

e.g.

Image image = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getSharedImages().getImage(ISharedImages.IMG_OBJ_ELEMENT);

This works very well but I did not find an overview of the available images. Can someone please point me to such a documentation?

You can use the Plug-in Image Browser which was added recently:

Some of them you can find here, but keep in mind that other 3rd party plugins can add another set of shared images for which, you would have to refer to that plugin documentation.

    Thanks for that link, [this page](http://www.vorlesungsfrei.de/kai/index.php?location=eclipse&sub=sharedimages) shows all available images. How do other Plugins contribute images? Did you mean the `ImageRegistry`? – Kai Sep 28 '11 at 06:17
