Build Identifier: M20100909-0800 I hope to attach part of a screenshot showing the Package Explorer. 1. Some of the package icons have an adornment of a white asterisk on a black background. 2. A java file and a class has an orange rectangle attached to them. What are these? They need to be included in Help/Java development user guide/Reference/Wizards and Dialogs/Icons Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Help 2. Click through to Java development user guide/Reference/Wizards and Dialogs/Icons 3. Search for a package icon with an adornment of a white asterisk on a black background 4. Search for a java file and a class with an adornment of an orange rectangle.
Created attachment 197285 [details] small portion of a screenshot showing the mysterious icons
I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3917925/what-do-the-arrow-icons-in-subclipse-mean/3920248#3920248 which has an explanation for the icons and adornments that subclipse adds. Can these be added to the Help? It confuses the users when the icons can't be found in the documentation, even if they may not have originated there. Thanks for your help!
Here is a link to documentation of these icons in the CVS user guide: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-cvs-decorations.htm Here is a link to documentation of these icons in the SVN user guide: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.team.svn.help/teamSupport/svn_label_decor.html I don't see the asterisk icon in the SVN guide, so maybe they are missing that one (or you are using CVS?)
"Some of the package icons have an adornment of a white asterisk on a black background." Yes, I came here looking for the meaning of that one. :) "A file with local, uncommitted changes." According to this StackOverflow page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3917925/what-do-the-arrow-icons-in-subclipse-mean/3920248#3920248
The icons from the SDK are document as John mentioned in comment 3. If other plug-ins, like e.g. SVN, introduce new ones, then it is their task to document them.
