Hello,
shamefully I have to say that I didn't find it on my own:
How to I set my own RCP main icon (usually left to the
title bar)??
Do I have to define a feature or should/can I do that
programmatically (where?) ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Daniel Krügler

Hi,
I think you have to define your own product extension (as in org.eclipse.platform),
and then enter your image(s) to the windowImanges-Properties, as in the following
snipped out of the eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.0/plugin.xml:
<extension id="ide" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product name="%productName" application="org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" description="%productBlurb">
<property name="windowImages" value="eclipse.gif,eclipse32.gif"/>
<property name="aboutImage" value="eclipse_lg.gif"/>
<property name="aboutText" value="%productBlurb"/>
<property name="appName" value="Eclipse"/>
<property name="preferenceCustomization" value="plugin_customization.ini"/>
</product>
</extension>
Regards,
Peter

Hi,
you must do a FULL product definition (as in org.eclipse.platform),
and start your RCP with the additional parameter -procuct <productid>.
Perhaps you read in the Help->Platform Plug-in Developer Guide->Programmer's Guide->Packaging and delivering Eclipse
base products->Defining a Product->The products extension point
Or, without any product stuff, simply replace eclipse.gif and eclipse32.gif
with your own images :-)
Regards,
Peter
