Description

Atm, only the lexer will be copied over to the settings of NetBeans, not the icon. The problem will be, when we export/import settings or copy the settings from one into another computer. This makes copying the folder easy w/o changing anything.

Steps to reprocuce:

• Open any project (Just to let NetBeans init the editor)
• Go to Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Language Servers
• Adding a new custom language with a lexer file and an icon.
• NetBeans creates a folder with "x-ext-a" into the settings of NetBeans (On my windows machine it is this path: C:\Users\Chrl\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev\config\Editors\text\x-ext-a)
• Folder contains syntax.xml which is a copy of the file that I choose from the hard disk and a .nbattr file with registering the lexer.
• No icon file is inside.

What I expect is that the icon is also part of it and the name, that I've chosen should also be part of nbattr.
