How can I link to the icon from the plugin?

I have an RCP Eclipse application with some plugins and some commands. For one of the commands, I want to use an icon from one of the included plugins.

The plugin is called com.example.plugin.workspace

, and the path to the icon icons/workspace.png

.

I would like to reference it in my plugin.xml application where I want to add a command to the toolbar:

<menuContribution
        allPopups="false"
        locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions">
    <toolbar
           id="com.example.application.displays.toolbar">
        <command
             commandId="com.example.application.system.command.OpenWorkspace"
             icon="PATH TO ICON IN PLUGIN"
             label="Open Workspace"
             style="push">
        </command>
    </toolbar>
</menuContribution>

Can the plugin icon be referenced there, and if so, how?

The icon from the included plugin can be specified in XML with the prefix:

platform:/plugin/Bundle-SymbolicName/path/filename.extension

See http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseRCP/article.html#runtime_uri

So, in the example question, it would be:



platform:/plugin/com.example.plugin.workspace/icons/workspace.png

To contribute toolbar:

<menuContribution
        allPopups="false"
        locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions">
    <toolbar
           id="com.example.application.displays.toolbar">
        <command
             commandId="com.example.application.system.command.OpenWorkspace"
             icon="platform:/plugin/com.example.plugin.workspace/icons/workspace.png"
             label="Open Workspace"
             style="push">
        </command>
    </toolbar>
</menuContribution>
