BASIS Knowledge Base Article #01071

Title:

IDE is not showing BBx, PRO/5 or BBj file icons

Description:

Running the IDE does not show the icons for file types associated with BASIS products.

Resolution:

Occasionally this will happen when prior installations of NetBeans exist or existed on the system.

Under Windows operating systems:
Check the "-userdir" parameter on the shortcut for the BBj IDE:

-userdir "C:\Program Files\Basis\ide\defaultuser"

Correct the -userdir parameter to reflect the correct path for the default user directory created by the BASIS installation of BBj and the IDE.

Under UNIX operating systems:
1) Go to the <BBj_Install_Dir>/ide/bin directory.
2) Open the ide.cfg file in a text editor.
3) Insert a flag like the following on the last line of the file:
-userdir <full path to basis install dir>/ide/defaultuser
4) Save and close the ide.cfg file.

For example, my -userdir path is /home/user/ide/defaultuser.
This path points to the user directory containing the BBj plugin modules. When the NetBeans IDE is started, the ide.cfg file is read and the value for -userdir is set to the right user directory. The IDE will then automatically load our plugin modules.
