I am creating a new project type, the Deployable Archive.

The user creates a new project through the New Project wizard.

The user can create a Deployable Archive project based on the 5 Java EE 
archives:
a war, ejb-jar, ear, rar or application client jar (car).

Since the project will appear in the Projects window I need to find out 
what icons I should use for the project....

Should I:

a) have a "deployable archive" icon -- which would be used in the New 
Project Wizard (undecorated) and 5 badges (to differeniate the 5 
"subtypes" the project may represent) to decorate the icon when it 
appears in the Project explorer?

b) have a deployable archive icon that is always undecorated...

c) have a deployable archive icon, for the New Project Wizard and a 
badge (that looks like the icon) which is used to badge the existing 
Java EE module project's icons.  [Need to have an icon for a rar icon.....
