What is the meaning of this Eclipse icon?

Question

I really don't know which is the meaning of this icon. I'm using Eclipse Luna, and unfortunately I didn't find the meaning in their help. I'm working on a Android app with NDK and I've noticed the icon after removed the obj/ folder from my git tracking.

Can you tell me which is the meaning of that icon, ad what can I do in order to fix my problem/

So far, it seam that the application is running fine, but I'm worried anyway.

This image describes all the possible states:

Check the each file names. They explains there own current state.

Basically the esteric (*) refers to staged - The resource has changes which are added to the index. Not that adding to the index is possible at the moment only on the commit dialog on the context menu of a resource.

Solution:

As this obj folder was previously tracked, that's why in spite of removing from the the git tracking it is removed from your local repo not from the remote repository. So what you can do is just clear the cache by using the following command and restage your project.

git rm --cached

Please a take backup of your project to be safe.
