Now Eclipse can only show icons according file types(like *.java, *.xml), but when I developing Struts, I need to identify xxxAction, xxxVO, xxxPO.... these files are all *.java and are assigned the same icon. So It is different to tell which is the one I really want, especially when I open more than 4 file and the Editor's Tab title only shows the first few characters while they are same, such as EmployeeVO, EmployeeAction, EmployeePO. So, I think it will be a good feature to be able to assing different icon assording to file name, e.g. I can assign icon_1 to *Action.java, assign icon_2 to *Form.java, and so on.
Is this now possible?
There is no easy way to do this. There are two heavy weight programatic ways that I can think of, however... You could subtype the java content type for each criteria, and then create new editors (that are really just java editors) bound to each content type. Each would have it's own icon. You could create a decorator that checks the file for certain methods and decorates the label appropriately. The second solution would be easiest.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
