Missing icon for Java Project when running custom product [message #1737091]

Hi all,
I'm writing down here in order to see if someone is experiencing a similar issue with their custom RCP product or has a valid hint on how to solve.
I'm working on testing the compatibility of our RCP product with Eclipse Neon 4.6. I created a dedicated development environment with a proper target platform similar to the previous one based on 4.5.2.
Everything works fine when I create the launch configuration and select my product id, except the appearance of the project folder inside the Project Explorer. The "J" decorator appears ok but the project icon is a "red square", the classic one used when the image is not found.

index.php/fa/26394/0/

If I try to select another product id in the launch configuration (i.e. org.eclipse.platform.id or org.eclipse.sdk.ide) the icon is correctly shown.

index.php/fa/26393/0/

Not really sure of what's going on. In the console log there is no error that helps in determining the problem.

Any idea of what it could be? Is there any known bug?
Maybe I need to add some more dependencies? Anyhow this worked ok in 4.5.2.

By the way I also tried to produce a standalone product (via maven tycho), instead of using the runtime. But the problem remains.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Massimo.

Hey Massimo,

did you solve your problem? I got the same problem.
I think the icon could be in a plug-in that is missing somehow... don't know which one yet. Code should tell...

Best,
Ingo

Unfortunately I haven't solved the problem yet. I will start re-investigating in the next days.
"Glad" to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue.
Please, if you find the solution let me know. I will do the same.

Best regards,
Massimo.

problem solved
--------------

Hey Massimo,

does this sound familiar to you?
Our "friend" was the WindowsAdvisor impl in the app plug-in (we have a 3.x application running on Neon base now).

6 years ago we apparently considered it a wonderful idea to copy&paste the internal org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEWorkbenchAdvisor implementation (which also declares the images).

I updated that impl now, and the icon was there as expected, again.

Maybe, your team had the same funny idea back then...

Best,
Ingo

Thanks. The information provided helped resolving the issue.
I can confirm it was more or less the same problem of yours.

Regards,
Massimo.

I was facing the same problem, since I updated my target definition from older Luna to Neon.

As already mentioned in the previous anwers, the answer can be the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor with its classes in the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin.

The old plugin I use was org.eclipse.ui.ide_3.10.2.v20141118-1227.jar while the new one has the version org.eclipse.ui.ide_3.12.1.v20160823-0925. When I looked into the icons folders, I saw that in the newer version, they are only providing .png icons, while in the older version, they are providing .png and .gif icons.

I was declaring only .gif files in my overriden initialize method in the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor, which could not be found.

Hope it helps somebody.

Hello all ,

Even I am facing the missing icon issue while migrating the RCP application from 3.x to 4.2.2 . However, I also changed my icons to .png from gif but the problem still persists. Can somebody help me out here? Thanks in advance.
