Define icons for J2EE modules

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

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

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.

To define icons for J2EE modules:

1. In the Project Explorer view of the J2EE perspective, right-click the Deployment Descriptor for your project and select Open With > Deployment Descriptor Editor to open the Deployment Descriptor 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, 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, import the image to the project.
