The images extension point provides a way of linking different types of images and icons to a particular command. These images can be used, as appropriate, wherever the command appears in the user interface. To accommodate some boundary cases (e.g., tool bar drop-down items), it is possible to group the images for a particular commands into "styles". These styles can then be specifically requested when a command is to be displayed.
Commands placed in menus using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point will use the default image if available, and commands placed in a toolbar will use the toolbar
style images if available, followed by the default images.
