Hello,

How to retrieve the image associated with a file type from the platform
image registry.

*.txt ---> icon text
*.java ---> icon with the letter J
...

As the package explorer treeview.

It is to create a little treeview from some files.

You can use the Common Navigator/Project Explorer for any IResource
based file viewer. Basically, the workbench label provider for an IFile
does:
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.model.WorkbenchFile.getBaseImage (IResource)

The code in getBaseImage(*) looks up the content type and then tries to
get an icon from the editor registry.
