Hello!

So now I`m really nearly ready with my editor (in the meantime my client 
 had some "great" new ideas what my editor should do...)

I was able to create a feature- and a site-project and now I can install 
my plugin on eclipse :D

I have just three issues left:
1. when I add my site-project as an update-site, it looks like this:
* file:/....<Path to site project>
	* Uncategorized
		* <My Editor Name>
Where comes this "Uncategorized" from?
In the site-project I defined a category for the feature.

2. when I run my Editor the icons in the toolbar aren`t shown. The icons 
must be there, because everywhere else (on the property view, on the 
project explorer-view) I can see them. But where are the icons on the 
toolbar? Is this a known issue? Any ideas why of all things only the 
icons in the toolbar aren`t working?

3. what text should I write into the Copyright- and License-Text? For 
the code I wrote myself the copyright is of course on me. But on a 
GMF-project most of the code is generated by GMF, and in my plugin is a 
lot of stuff included like other plugins and packages.
I already searched on the web, but didn`t find anything helpful, no 
example-text or something like that. Just general descriptions on "what 
is copyright" and so on.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Best wishes
Julia
