Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-04-17 16:22:43 EDT 
On Linux and windows jar files are shown as plain text files although in the
platform browsers for each (Nautilus and Explorer respectivley) they are shown
with meaningful icons.

STEPS
1) Open the ResourceNavigator. Drill down to a jar file - it uses the plain text
icon
2) Browse the same directory in Explorer. You will get a better icon.

The problem appears to be that there is no default editor for JAR files even
though we do get the correct one for zip files.

This is still happening.  What is interesting is that if you add a an editor to a file type and choose external editors we do of one called "Executable Jar File".  For whatever reason Windows isn't giving us a proper icon for this launcher.  There are numerous other external "programs" on windows given the same result.

Passing to SWT - is there more than one way to obtain a icon for an external program like this or this simply a matter of there not being an icon defined in Windows for this?

On my machine, I get a zip icon for jar files in the Explorer.  Interestingly, when I run the FileExplorer example code from the SWT book or the FileViewer code from the SWT examples, I get the zip icon.

Never mind.  I'm running with a hacked version of Program.  This is our bug.

The request is to find the icon the same icon that is shown in the Explorer.
