Replace "$XXE_HOME/addon/config/" by "xxe-config:" and the configuration should work no matter where XXE has been installed and no matter where the configuration for the Forrest project has been installed. Example: --- <item label="Insert Column Before" mnemonic="B" icon="xxe-config:common/icons/ColumnInsertBefore16.gif" command="xhtml.tableColumn" parameter="insertBefore"/> --- > 2) Add all referenced icons to the config > > Besides crafting new icons, what kind of license are the bundled icons > under? Could they be copied to the forrest config (forrest is using > Apache 2 license)? You'll find the license attached to all the icons contained in the xxe-config:common/icons/ directory in file xxe-config:common/icons/icons.LICENSE.
