Hello Johannes,

IDEA loads icons fron the classpath. Therefore you need to include your icons

into the plugin classpath and they should be successfully loaded.

Hi,

 

 

at the moment I try to give my actions some nice looking icons.

 

I see two ways to do so:

 

into the plugin.xml with the attribute "icon" or over the constructor of my

action or the update()-method.

 

 

Now my question:

How should I handle the icons?

 

- Where shall I place them? (icons.jar seems to be the right position for

"centralized" placement. But seems not very usefull for plugins..)

 

In the update-methods or constructor I may read them from wherever I want,

but I would like to know the "correct" way, that is compatible with the

plugin.xml?

 

 

 

Thanks,
