Want to re-use Eclipse icons in my own projects. Extensions need a reference to the icons, to use them. I still have some unanswered questions, but gathered these links thus far.

• codehaus: Eclipse icons and a script to extract 'em all from CVS. Direct link to icon download.
• news.eclipse.platform forum question about new menu infrastructure and re-using built-in icon sets (follow-up suggests you still have to link to 'em in project)
• wiki.eclipse.org: UI Best Practices v3.x
• eclipse.org: UI Guidelines v2.1 (some interesting stuff may still be applicable).
• [news.eclipse.platform] Referencing another plugin in plugin.xml?: icon references need to be relative, so there's no easy way to reference icons in another plugin.
