I downloaded the 32 bit version of Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (4.2) along with the Eclipse SDK (3.8) and ran both on my Windows 7 PC. Eclipse 4.2 used the new icon during launch but reverted to the old icon once the workbench was loaded. Eclipse 3.8 used the new icon during launch *and* after the workbench loaded.
Adding John to the CC list since this looks like a packaging issue...
I could not reproduce. I tested with 64 bit eclipse, but could not see any difference in icon. (And would not think there would be a difference in 32 vs 64 bit packages). Assume you mean the icon in upper left hand corner (or, on task list in windows)? I had fresh installs, and used fresh (separate) workspaces to try and reproduce. Any chance you are using an existing workspace from 3.7 or anything? Did you install by unzipping each, in fresh directories? Or, was p2 update involved somehow? I'm not doubting you are seeing something ... just trying to find the steps to see what you see.
Can't reproduce it either. win 7 all 64 bit stack (OS, Java, Eclipse)
The other variable, it just occurred to me, on Windows is how and where you installed (unzipped) ... was it as "adminstrator"? Under "Program Files"? If so, I think then eclipse keeps some special user data somewhere such as Users\<user>\.eclipse or something like that. I still could not reproduce trying it that way (I normally just unzip into its own directory, like "C:\development\"), but, just wanted to make the point that we'd probably need extreme details like "how and where" you installed ... though, suspect it could not produce the results you are seeing ... just realized there are these many variables so thought I'd mention it.
OK I'll give as much detail as possible. * I am running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). * I have downloaded eclipse-java-juno-win32.zip and eclipse-SDK-3.8-win32.zip. * I have extracted these into: * C:\tmp\eclipse\eclipse-java-juno-win32\eclipse * C:\tmp\eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.8-win32\eclipse * I have started 3.8 and created a new workspace in C:\tmp\eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.8-win32\workspace * The Configuration tab of the Installation Details window shows I am using "-vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\..\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" * The new icon is shown in the taskbar, window title, alt tab etc * I have started 4.2 and created a new workspace in C:\tmp\eclipse\eclipse-java-juno-win32\workspace * The Configuration tab of the Installation Details window shows I am using "-vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\..\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" * The old icon is shown in the taskbar, window title, alt tab etc I don't have a C:\Users\<user>\.eclipse directory.
Thanks for the extra info. "eclipse-java-juno" was the key. I see the old icon with that package too (using 64 bit version, on Windows). So, moving to EPP project ... it is indeed a problem with packaging ... just not ours :) Markus, et., al. ... looks like there's at least one spot that could use the new 4.2 icon. Did not check others.
Years has passed and icons seems to be fine now. Closing. Please reopen if I missed smth.
