My application edits an EMF model and does not use the Resources API. In 3.x the EditorPart has access direct access to the image so decorating tab icons was straight forward.

There does not appear to be a way to decorate tab icons out of the box in e4 (this would be a nice enhancement Smile). I looked at how the compatibility layer decorates icons but it doesn't seem like the right approach. I am thinking about providing a list of decorator URLs in the model via the context and then modifying the renderer to decorate icons. Am I on the right track?

You can set the icon to a specific image by placing aN entry in the MPart's transient data using the IPresentationEngine.OVERRIDE_ICON_IMAGE_KEY.

Thank you for your advice.

I was not successful setting the tab image using:

part.getTransientData().put(IPresentationEngine.OVERRIDE_ICON_IMAGE_KEY, image);

Are any addons required to make this work?

Sorry Greg -- as you discovered, this doesn't work on pure E4. I'm putting together a patch to fix this for 4.3.

Thank you, 4.3 is soon enough for me.

I am just building an app to learn e4 and develop methods for implementing features I currently use in 3.x.
