Alternate File Tab appearance [message #169531]

I would like to change the appearance of a java source file editor tab
based on where the source file came from. Local project files would
appear the same but source files brought into the editor from outside of
the local projects would appear different. Any thoughts on how to do
this?? I don't see an easy way to change the Icon or the color scheme.

Only the editor itself can set the title and the image. There's no
preference or API that would allow clients to override an editor title
or image. Allowing to do so would result in conflicts, e.g. the Java
editor sets the icon to indicate warnings or errors whenever the CU is
built.
