Menu icons make the product easier to use. There are already quite a few menu icons, but some extras could be added. For example context providers don't have icons. Adding them could be useful for table comparisons with set operations. The easiest way would be a URL getIcon() method on ContextProvider. This is an abstract method, so adding a dummy method returning null should be a compatible change. We could also add context icons to the class loader explorer The Thread Details menu item on the context menu with the thread overview doesn't have an icon. This could be added to DetailResultProvider as a URL getIcon() method. The HTML reports could also extract these icons. Categories usually don't have icons. An exception is the merge_shortest_paths query. Perhaps categories with all queries having the same icon have that icon on the category. I'm not sure how to add an icon on a category in a compatible way if the subqueries have difference icons. E.g. for class refs the inbound and outbound queries have difference icons - but perhaps the category could also have the class icon.
Existing Context Providers Hash Entries 1.key 2.value Big Drops in Dominator Tree 1.accumulation point? 2.dominator - use dominator icon? Class Loader Explorer 1.Class Loader - use Class Loader object icon 2.Defined Classes - use Class icon (green C) 3.Class - use Class instance icon 4.Object instances - use Object instance icon find_leaks (hidden) 1.Leak Suspect 2.Accumulation Point Immediate Dominators 1.Objects 2.Dominated objects Compare Tables query 1.Intersection - use new icon 2.Union - use new icon 3.Symmetric difference - use new icon 4.A minus B - use new icon 5.B minus A - use new icon Existing detail results Thread overview 1.Detail Result Provider there is also a reference to both in TQuantize - but I am not sure how this is used. We would then change QueryContextMenu and HtmlOutputter to use these icons.
I've added the getIcon method to ContextProvider and DetailResultProvider and new context icons for the table comparison and icons for Class Loader explorer and a JDT icon for the open source file query. The API Tooling says that the version number for report should be updated to match the @since 1.1 I added. We can update version numbers nearer release time.
