| How do icons make their way into the CDT Outline view? |
| |
| The Outline view basically displays one translation unit's (file's) part |
| of the CModel (ICElement hierarchy). The icons displayed are based on |
| the types of the individual ICElements in the hierarchy (see |
| ICElement.getElementType()). |
| |
| CContentOutlinePage creates a DecoratingCLabelProvider around a |
| StandardCElementLabelProvider, which inherits from an |
| AppearanceAwareLabelProvider, which inherits from CUILabelProvider, |
| which uses a CElementImageProvider to load icons from the resource bundle |
| for the UI plugin by creating URLs to the individual icons. |
| |
| See CElementImageProvider#getImageLabel, which calls |
| getCImageDescriptor, which calls getBaseImageDescriptor, which is where |
| there lies a giant case statement lies, which returns the ImageDescriptor. |
