Eclipse EE: change running icon

Question

Maybe my question is silly. But when I change from normal version to EE version (for web developing), I really don't like new icon of EE version. (I like classical icon of eclipse better).

So, can we change this running icon ? (because icon of eclipse.exe same on both version, just different when running, but I have browsed all directories, and I don't know where eclipse loading icon)

Thanks :)

In the eclipse folder, look for for the j2ee plugin directory. For example:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.epp.package.jee_1.5.0.20120131-1544\

The about.ini file in this folder specifies the icon to use:

featureImage=javaee-ide_x32.png

You can copy the original Eclipse icon (eclipse32.png) into this folder and change the entry in about.ini to

featureImage=eclipse32.png

Alternatively, you could replace the icons with the original ones and leave the about.ini file unchanged.
