How can I display an icon for a file from a Java application?

Question

Is it possible from an application on the Java desktop to find an icon to display for a given file, perhaps based on its mime type? In particular, I want to ask the host OS to display the icon so that it can match the expected user.

Answer 1

Below is an example here . The relevant code would be:

FileSystemView view = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();    
Icon icon = view.getSystemIcon(file);
