extracting icons from files/folders java

Question

I am trying to extract icons images from specific files or directory using Java. I have looked around the internet but haven't found a reasonable answer to this question. Are there any libraries which would help me achieve this?

thanks, TC

Answer 1

It's pretty simple actually, you just need to use:

• URL Class#getResource(String), or
• InputStream Class#getResourceAsStream(String).

For an example, check out How to Use Icons.
