The splash screen has to be specified in the config.ini file.
Regarding icons, perspective, etc if you run with update and have
primary feature everything should be done for free.
If not there might be a bug.

If you don't ship with update, you want to provide an extension to the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Product extension point.

You should be able to find details in the newsgroup and in closed bug
reports. Moreover I believe this is used in the sdk.

RCP applications don't require update manager which provides an
extension to org.eclipse.core.runtime.Product. Update manager uses
features to drive the branding. Otherwise you roll your own.

Here is an example of such an extension contributing the branding for
the coolProduct.

<extension id="coolProduct" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product
name="myCoolProduct"
application= "coolApp"
description=""
windowImage="iconSmall.gif"
aboutImage="image.gif"
featureImage="feature.gif"
aboutText="%aboutText"
appName="CoolApp"
welcomePage="$nl$/welcome.xml"
/>
</extension>

Splash screen specification needs to be done in the config.ini

Thanks for the extension point example. I'm interested in branding as
well, but it seems when I exported my prototype ( back in M5 or so ) there
was no config.ini and dropping one into my config dir didn't work. Can
you point me to documentation on config.ini or maybe point out the option
I forgot to select?

RCP = Rich Client Platform

This is a combination of UI and runtime work. Equinox covers the runtime
work.

The example config.ini that comes with Eclipse has doc in it. Of course,
there is more doc on the way. Also, look here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-core-home/runtime/index.html
