Dear Christoph,
all the Eclipse icons are stored in this repo. In this repo we have the
"org.eclipse.images" project that has all the SVGs and generated PNGs and the
"org.eclipse.images.renderer" project that has code to render PNGs out of SVG.
Platform uses the images in this repo by copy-ing the PNGs from this repo. Look
at the "eclipse-png" folder in the "org.eclipse.images" project. In this folder
you find that the folder-structure of the plugins that use this icons is
replicated. As some icons are used in different plugins the
"org.eclipse.images" project has multiple copies of the same Icons (including
the SVG) - this is not ideal but that's the way it is.
Regards,
Matthias

The eclipse.platform.images contains all the nice icons for eclipse and
mentions also how to build these images but one point is missing:
How is it supposed to be used? The docs mention a 'org.eclipse.images'
plugin but this seems not be available (maybe a special feature is
required?).
Should one simply copy what ever is needed into an arbitrary plugin?
Could I reference images in some magic way that prevents duplication in
a custom plugin?
If I copy/use them, do I need to credit someone (assuming the project
itself is also EPL)?
