How to check the icon meaning in the eclipse (project explorer)?

Considering the meaning of “Label decoration”, you won’t ever have a formal description of all the icons in a project Explorer: it depends on the plugins you have installed.

As Harry Joy, mentions in the comments, the CTRL+N “new project” dialog is the closest way to list all of those icons.

It can be helpful though to know about the “User Interface Guidelines” for Eclipse to grasp their more general meaning:

Brown is used less than the other colors mentioned, but it is generally associated with specific types of objects: the Java “package”, “bundle”, and the “Enterprise Java Bean (EJB)”.
