Deployment: Icons for graphical elements [message #1741624]

Hi everybody,

I created an editor with Sirius and I'm very happy with it Smile

As it comes to deployment now I had some issues but I could overcome must of them. The only issue I couldn't solve yet is:
I added icons for my graphical elements (containers) and their creation tools. I added the icon path to the creation tool under Advanced -> Icon Path. This works out very well in the Eclipse runtime but not with deployment.
I guess the deployed plugin just misses the icon files. I placed them in a folder under project root calles "icons".
Is this wrong or should I do something else to get the icons deployed?

Thanks for your support,
Philipp

Hi.

It's a common mistake, easily overlooked (even with years of Eclipse plug-in developement, everbody get bitten by it once in a while...): the "icons" folder must be explictly added to the build.properties, otherwise it will not be included in the JAR produced during the build. In the plug-in's manifest editor, go to the "Build" tab and the "icons" folder is checked in the "Binary build" panel on the left.

Regards,
Pierre-Charles
