Hi,

I am trying to have a decorator that replaces the icon used in the package explorer, but it doesn't seem to work. Below is what I have in my plugin.xml and I am using Eclipse 3.6.1. If I change the location to anything besides REPLACE it works just fine, but with REPLACE it seems to do nothing. Do I somehow need to enable replace with the IDecoration.ENABLE_REPLACE?

Thanks in advance for any help!

<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ui.decorators">
   <decorator
         icon="icons/myDecoration.png"
         id="myDecorator"
         label="My Decoration"
         lightweight="true"
         location="REPLACE"
         state="true">
      <enablement>
         <and>
            <objectClass
                  name="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
            </objectClass>
            <objectState
                  name="extension"
                  value="myFileExtension">
            </objectState>
         </and>
      </enablement>
