Missing project explorer icons after update of platform (git projects) [message #1772161]

We updated our RCP application from 4.3 to 4.7
And after the update, the Project explorer is not showing icons of the projects.
Before it did show if it was git shared project or not, and an ">" if the project had uncommitted changes.

I guess I am missing something on the target platform but can figure out what.

Old as it should be:
index.php/fa/30622/0/

New: with red dots:
index.php/fa/30623/0/

My guess: the images were moved into a separate bundle `org.eclipse.ui.images`.

As far as I can see org.eclipse.ui dont contain the pictures either.

Is it possible to make RCP or the platform to tell me what icon is is trying to find?
And know that in WPF (C#) you have snooping tools.

Usually missing images are logged to the console. Check your <workspace>/.metadata/.log file.

A few questions:

Is this with a packaged product? Or in the debugger?
How are you building the product, and what does your product file look like? Are you including the org.eclipse.rcp feature (recommended) or are you including files by hand?
If you launch with "-console" you should get a `osgi>` prompt. Try typing `ss org.eclipse.ui.images` and report back what you see. (This won't work if you don't include the `org.eclipse.equinox.console` and `org.apache.felix.gogo*` bundles though.)

In the Oxygen (4.7) version the icons seems to be in org.eclipse.ui_3.109.0.v20170411-1742.jar so make sure that it is included in the RCP

if thats already there then take a look at org.eclipse.buildship.ui_2.0.2.v20170420-0909.jar it seems to contain the project icons.

Try and use eclipse spy to find the icon name and then download Oxygen and run this in the plugin folder:

find . -name "*.jar" -exec unzip -l {} \; | grep png | grep proj

or whatever the name of the missing icons are.

Hi Brian,

Its missing both in the packed product and the one ran from Eclipse

Not sure what you mean by including files by hand.

I tried running the command:
index.php/fa/30837/0/

How are you building your product? What does the .product file look like?

From the above, you're missing the org.eclipse.ui.images bundle, which now includes the workbench images, and hence why you're getting the red squares. My guess is that you are including a list of bundles, rather than including the org.eclipse.rcp feature. The org.eclipse.rcp feature pulls in the bundles required for an RCP app, including org.eclipse.ui.images.

Good news I found this thread: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1079044/

And started looking at our ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor, and similar to their problem our code had some of that aswell

Old code

 declareWorkbenchImage(configurer, ideBundle, IDE.SharedImages.IMG_OBJ_PROJECT, PATH_OBJECT + "prj_obj.gif", true);
    declareWorkbenchImage(configurer, ideBundle, IDE.SharedImages.IMG_OBJ_PROJECT_CLOSED, PATH_OBJECT + "cprj_obj.gif", true);

New Code

 declareWorkbenchImage(configurer, ideBundle, IDE.SharedImages.IMG_OBJ_PROJECT, PATH_OBJECT + "prj_obj.png", true);
 declareWorkbenchImage(configurer, ideBundle, IDE.SharedImages.IMG_OBJ_PROJECT_CLOSED, PATH_OBJECT + "cprj_obj.png", true);

So the only change is that the picture now is png and not gif.

I guess the bundle at some point changed from being gif to only being png.
The bundle we use are eclipse.ui.ide

Thanks to everybody coming with inputs
