@ dominikg:
Thanks for the info. I'll update this post with the script.

@scott:
I'm not aware of any icons representing osgi from Eclipse. But check this icon: http://www.osgi.org/www/favicon.png Its a 32x32, but you can resize to 16x16 and use it. But I'm not sure of the legal stuff. Check that before using.

The icons a really great. We used them outside of eclipse in the qooxdoo API viewer.

Ok, we are now not totally outside of Eclipse since we are part of the RAP project. But this is a different story and we used the icons even before :-)

Hi Prakash,

Do you know off the top of your head if there is an icon under EPL to represent a 'network service'? Or even an 'OSGi service'? Maybe in WTP?

Thanksinadvance,

Scott

check this post that contains a script to grab icons directly from eclipse cvs.
You may need to adopt the script to changes in the cvs infrastructure and add some new packages, but it should work.
