Description David Simonek 2009-05-22 10:24:15 UTC 
Copying Jesse's comments from 159066 which I agree:
----
Anyway I have to say I have always strongly disliked the inclusion of the packaging string in the project's display
name. You should rather pick an icon according to well-known packaging types (Java Cup for 'jar', world for 'war',
etc.), with a default Maven icon for unknown packaging types or 'pom' packaging, and leave the packaging type (along
with disk location etc.) in the tooltip.
----

Additionally, this would fix renaming problem where packaging type string is included in project rename and doubled if
user didn't delete it during renaming.

dafe I think this is worth doing for 6.8, will you have time for it?
Comment 3 David Simonek 2009-10-12 14:41:36 UTC 
I think so...
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2009-10-12 15:33:15 UTC 
Would be nice to have a little SPI (even just an icon resource naming convention) to add icons for unusual packaging
types, e.g. 'hpi' for Hudson plugins.
Comment 5 David Simonek 2009-11-09 02:54:02 UTC 
I'm changing issue type to a bug, as current state is really annoying.
Comment 6 David Simonek 2009-11-09 03:00:44 UTC 
implemented - fixed in eb563372d45d, currently with no SPI for unusual packaging types, I created new enhancement 176181 to track this request.
