Look into this.  See if we can find open source icons, or have to create new 
ones.

There may be a better way to accept tasks, but I can take on this responsibility

Do we want to scrap the whole palantir theme? If so, what type of look are we 
looking for? I can custom create some imagery. Do we want a new name for this 
program?

I'm thinking so... we'll want to go with something more professional.  I'd 
imagine this will be an item for discussion tomorrow.

I found a great set of icons (unrestricted licence, no need to link back to 
site, etc..)I am going to try a few out at a larger size than the current ones. 
If they are too big (48x48) then I can resize them. I'll add them to the file 
menu.

Hey Shawn, I made some changes to all that stuff.  I commited it on the client, 
I'll commit right now on the server.  It fixes everything and makes it nice and 
tidy.  Basically the images need to actually go into the same file as the class 
that's using it, so it is either in the ui or userInterface folder.  Then when 
you call the image the syntax is new 
ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("nameofpic.jpg")).

Please export the project into an executable jar and ensure that the icons 
still show up with that new file structure.

In fact this allows us to use eclipse to export it directly as a mac 
application bundle.  That lets us use the Xdock:name="Palantir" and it works as 
well as set an icon that shows up in the dock and nothing has the java coffee 
cup anymore...  Of course that means that we have a mac specific build, but I 
think the benefits outweigh any downside of having more than one build.
