Icons, extensions, and generation patterns of entities
Each Rational® Programming Patterns entity has a specific icon and design extension type. The icons are displayed in the Design Explorer view, some design editors, and some search result views. The extensions are displayed in the Rational Team Concert Resource view or some Rational Programming Patterns views such as the Generation Manager view. The generation patterns are available only for the entities that can be generated. They are displayed in views such as the Generation Manager view.
Note: The extensions of the generated files according to the entities are documented in the
embedded help pages of
