IDEA icons licensing/redistribution

Hello Artem,

My company has a plug-in for IDEA and we were pondering using IDEA
icons for grouping controls - in order to get consistent look and
feel. However, icons are not in redist, so, from reading a license
text, looks like we cannot redistribute them. Is my understanding
correct?

You may not redistribute the icons, but you can load the icons directly from
IDEA resources in your plugin. For example, IconLoader.getIcon("/actions/copy.png")
will load the icon for the Copy action.

Hi Dmitry,

In a plugin which I am writing for the current contest, I would like to use some of the icons (those in the fileTypes directory) in .ico format. I could of course do some sort of conversion within the plugin code, but that would be a bit tedious. Is there a way to legally include the converted icons in my plugin?

Best regards,
Jens

I don't know. I guess it will be best to include conversion code in the plugin.
