i'm trying to customize the launcher by adding my icons.
the problem is that the icons do not get replaced with my custom ones. (i do build with maven/tycho)

in my product i specify the ico file for windows:
index.php/fa/20202/0/

NOTE: in the beginning Eclipse showed me a small yellow triangle with the warning that resolution x was missing (this is fixed - as you see in the screenshot)

while building i get the following Error:

Error - 7 icon(s) not replaced in ...\launcher.exe using ...\AppIcon\ico\AppIcon.ico

beside that the launcher name is correct, and Eclipse does accept everything else but the icons

what am i doing wrong?
NOTE: i attached my AppIcon.ico

Does you .ico hold all required file sizes?

i created the file with GIMP, where i got 7 Layers with resolutions 16(8&32bit), 32(8&32bit),48(8&32bit), 256(32bit) and exported it with the bit settings in brackets
when opening the file with IrfanView it tells me 7pages but all with 24BBP

Have you compared that to the eclipse one? What information do you get
there?

ok, i checked and it seems to be the same original icon shows same values as mine.

i downloaded the eclipse.ico [1] and set it as my custom icon.
then ran the build again.

Error - 7 icon(s) not replaced in ...\launcher.exe using ...\eclipse.ico

to me it seems its not about my icon... seems more like an general problem

i thought about specifying the seperate files, but as eclipse only supports BMP this is no option (no transparency)

Hi,

Ok I checked our build to see how we do it.

The trick is fairly simple. I guess you exported previously directly
from your eclipse instance and your layout looked like this:

my.app
+ icons
+ AppIcon.ico
+ MyApp.product

and now you have

my.app
+ icons
+ AppIcon.ico

my.app.product
+ MyApp.product

and you had .product

> <win useIco="true">
> <ico path="/my.app/icons/AppIcon.ico"/>
> <bmp/>
> </win>

which is now causing the problem. To fix it you:
a) copy the icons/AppIcon.ico to my.app.product
b) modify the path in your product to be

> <win useIco="true">
> <ico path="icons/AppIcon.ico"/>
> <bmp/>
> </win>

changing from absolute path (starting with /bundlename)
to relative path as you suggested, did solve the problem!
thanks!

Hello

I integrate this thread because I have exactly the same problem with my project and the solution proposed by Tom does not work for me Sad

My project is organize like that:

my.app

my.app.product
   >icons
      >eclipse.ico
   >myApp.product

My product file contains:

   <launcher name="myApp">
      <solaris/>
      <win useIco="true">
         <ico path="icons/eclipse.ico"/>
         <bmp/>
      </win>
   </launcher>

I have downloaded the eclipse.ico file with the gitUb link indicated by Ludwig.

With this configuration, I do not have any error message at Tycho build but my application persist not to show eclipse icon:
index.php/fa/20836/0/

Thank you for your help.
Jay
