Information on SharedImages in Eclipse

In the recent trainings that i have been giving, i did realise that not many know about Image Handling in Eclipse. One of the most important part of Image Handling is using Shared Images that are made globally available by other plugins. This blog is not in interest of retyping what other experts have already done but to summarize it. Below are the links that already talk about usage of SharedImages in Eclipse.
  1. http://shinych.blogspot.com/2007/05/eclipse-shared-images.html
  2. http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Using%20Images%20In%20Eclipse/Using%20Images%20In%20Eclipse.html
After the introduction of the concept of RCPs, SharedImages have been shared across IDE and UI Plugin.
  1. Interface IDE.SharedImages - org.eclipse.ui.ide
  2. Interface ISharedImages - org.eclipse.ui
Hope this is useful for those who are looking at Eclipse Shared Images.
