What does the database symbol mean in Eclipse icons?

I marked the database symbol in two places here:

For some reason, the file named ChangeObject.java does not have such icon that contains the database symbol. What does that mean?

Edit: By the way I use Team Foundation Server for Eclipse.

This is the Team menu I get for that file that does not contain the database icon:

How do I import an icon into eclipse?

To drag-and-drop, simply drag the icons of your files in your file system (that is in some directory in Windows, Mac OS, or Linux) over the title of your project in the Eclipse Package Explorer (usually found in the upper-left of your workbench layout).

Files with the yellow cylinder overlay are stored in your source control system, while files without have not been added. How you add files is dependent on what system you use.

it depicts the project is version controlled. And the file has not been modified locally since your last check out. & the number is the version number. The file without the number is newly added, i.e. not version controlled.

to check in to TFS:

  1. right click on the project (not just a file)

  2. select team

  3. select check in pending changes

  4. now you'll get a window showing files with changes (including new files), you can select whatever you want to check in.
