For development on Eclipse using multiple workspaces, the following ICO and PNG files might come in handy.

The ZIP file listed below contains a set of Eclipse ICO and PNG files. You can use the  Eclipse icons to identify your Eclipse workspace such as:

• J = Java
• C = C/C++
• H = HTML/Web Development
• O = Open Source Projects
• F = File System
• etc.

You can manage multiple Eclipse workspaces as follows. Edit the shortcut icon in the Quick Launch folder for each of your Eclipse shortcuts and set the path to your workspace in question:

    <ECLIPSE_DIR>/eclipse.exe -data c:\path\workspace1

Unfortunately, this will not allow you to replace the icon in the taskbar/application icon. However, there is a quick and dirty solution for that. If you would like to display the same icon in the taskbar, replace eclipse.png in your Eclipse installation folder: <ECLIPSE_DIR>/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.1_xxx/eclipse.png. Please note you will need one Eclipse installation folder per icon. Alternatively, the more complex solution is to create a custom Eclipse product if having multiple nearly duplicate Eclipse folders is not feasible for you.

Download the ZIP file: Eclipse ICO and PNG Files

Please note the procedure is very likly similar on Linux and Macintosh.

(*) The release for the iPhone is still pending approval. Estimated time of availability: Aug 15, 2009 or later.

The single player version of Aevum Obscurum is finally available on the iPhone as well as iPod Touch. The game play is pretty much the same as for the Android version. There is one map featuring Europe including several scenarios from ancient to medieval Europe. No other maps yet.

Single player game play isn’t much fun in the long run, so the plan is to create a multiplayer version of the game for both the iPhone, iPod Touch as well as the Android OS. The multiplayer version will include private messaging as well as diplomacy very much alike to Aevum Obscurum on the desktop.

There are also plans to create additional maps featuring Asia/America.
