Icon Replacement

A utility script replace_icons.sh is provided to automate replacing icons in an existing Eclipse installation based on the icon-mapping.json file.

Usage:

./scripts/replace_icons.sh <eclipse_plugins_dir> <mapping_json_file>

Example:

./scripts/replace_icons.sh /path/to/eclipse/plugins iconpacks/eclipse-dual-tone/icon-mapping.json

Important: After running the script, you must restart Eclipse with the following flags to ensure the icon cache is cleared and the new icons are displayed:

eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState

Making changes

Please ensure that every sentence is on a separate line. The AsciiDoc Syntax Reference explains all available formatting.

Editing is easy with the Eclipse AsciiDoctor Plug-in as well as with the VSCode Extension.
