Description Adam Taylor CLA 2010-09-08 17:05:22 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

issue 1)
IFile's within package explorer (or project, etc) show some platform specific icon

=> This should show the language icon

issue 2)
"IMP Editor" shows as default editor with standard eclipse icon within the "open with" context menu

==> This should say "XYZ Editor" where XYZ is the language name, and should show the language icon

issue 3)
some icon (possbly none) is displayed in the "File Assocaitions" preference page, the assocated editor is "IMP Editor"

==> the language specific icon should be used, and the associated editor should read "XYZ Editor" where XYZ is the language name

issue 4)
when you open a workspace that has multiple imp editors opened in it, the correct icon is only displayed for the active editor, all other open editors show the standard eclipse icon (IMP editor icon)

==> all icons should be correct and language specific, not just the topmost

Reproducible: Always
