Defining icons for Java EE modules (J2EE 1.4)

You can specify graphical images, in JPEG or GIF format, to represent an application or module in the interface.

Before you begin

Before you can select an image, you must import the image into the project.

About this task

When you specify icons, you add the <icon> element to the deployment descriptor source file. The <small-icon> and <large-icon> elements are used for the small and large icons respectively.

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer view of the Java™ EE perspective, right-click the deployment descriptor for your project and select Open With > Deployment Descriptor Editor to open the deployment dDescriptor editor.
  2. On the Overview page of the editor, scroll to the Icons section.
  3. Next to the Small field, click Browse to select a small JPEG or GIF icon (16x16 pixels). If no graphics are available in the project source folder, you must import the image to the project.
  4. Next to the Large field, click Browse to select a large JPEG or GIF icon (32x32 pixels). If no graphics are available in the project source folder, you must import the image to the project.
