Specify icon for the launcher

Question

Hi
in my product configuration file (.product) I'm trying to specify icons
for the launcher (an xpm for Linux, icns for Mac and ico for Windows);
when I create the products with Tycho, the icons do not appear in the
main product folder (e.g., for Linux, there's not the xpm file near to
the executable).
Am I doing anything wrong? Are there any further specific rule to
follow? The icons are not in the same project where the product
configuration is specified, they are in the plugin where the product is
specified in the plugin.xml.
thanks in advance
Lorenzo

So the icons must be in the very same project of .product?
