Question

Is there a set of default action icons available in the Swing application framework?

For instance, instead of making a button that says “Save,” I’d like the standard picture of a floppy disk without having to specify an image myself. For “Open”, I’d like the standard picture of a file folder. It would be great if these adapted to the look and feel, but I’d take Swing defaults.

I’m thinking of something like:

new JButton(new ImageIcon(DEFAULT_OPEN_ICON));

I have found lots of resources about changing the look and feel, but nothing about icons either built into Java or dug out of the native system.

Java Look and Feel Graphics Repository has a few icons you might be able to use.
