EA 14 - Now you can put icons on packages in project browser

This is great (and, of course, about time  :))
Did you notice - Now you can also have icons on your stereotypes (metatypes) that extends package.
Earlier such icons would only show up in the project browser for elements, not for packages.

Interesting.

Are we talking about defining the icon in an MDG or have you discovered some cool api function that will assign the icon dynamically within a script / extension?

Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

We are talking of an icon that has been set as attribute "icon" to a stereotype definition in an UML profile.
If such a stereotype also has the _metatype = stereotypeName attribute, then the specified icon (as 16x16 bitmap) will be shown as icon of packages and elements in the project browser.
