I was wondering how we can put our custom logo on a product in the Eclipse Installer, rather than the default Eclipse one? i.e. what in the setup file we need to change. Thanks.

Some work was done to make this configurable, but that involves actually creating your own product as in a real PDE/p2 product that you must build yourself:

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the reply. However perhaps I didn't explain it clearly. I was referring to the logo next to the product, rather than the installer itself. For example, the "Eclipse IDE for Testers" has a purple globe with a green tick. Is there a simple property (e.g. in BrandingInfo) that can be used to configure this image?

Hi again,
To clarify further, we have the following in our setup:

  <annotation
      source="https://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/BrandingInfo">
    <detail
        key="folderName">
      <value>eclipse</value>
    </detail>
    <detail
        key="folderName.macosx">
      <value>Eclipse</value>
    </detail>
    <detail
        key="imageURI">
      <value>https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/epsilon.git/plain/img/epsilon-logo-square.png</value>
    </detail>
    <detail
        key="siteURI">
      <value>https://www.eclipse.org/epsilon</value>
    </detail>
  </annotation>

At some point the imageURI was working, but now it's not, even in Advanced mode. Are there some constraints on the image? e.g. does it have to be a particular format, does it have to be exactly square dimensions, must it be less than a certain size etc.?

Just as I posted this I realised the issue is the link:

source="https://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/BrandingInfo"

should be

source="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/BrandingInfo"

i.e. without the s in http. Was a mistake when doing Ctrl+F replace.

For reference, if anyone else searches for this in the future, the image should be a 64x64 png, ideally spherical with an opaque (i.e. "no") background.

Actually most of the branding images for the Products in the Eclipse.org Product Catalog generated from the ICONS.put in the generator are 42x42 though some are 48x48:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.installer/src/org/eclipse/oomph/setup/internal/installer/ProductCatalogGenerator.java#n246

When we display them, we scale them so they fit. They do look better if they are round with the background alpha 0 .png or transparent pixel .gif.
