Answer 1

Go into your AndroidManifest.xml file

• Click on the Application Tab
• Find the Text Box Labelled "Icon"
• Then click the "Browse" button at the end of the text box
• Click the Button Labelled: "Create New Icon..."
  
  
• Create your icon
• Click Finish
  
• Click "Yes to All" if you already have the icon set to something else.

Enjoy using a gui rather then messing with an image editor!

Worth mentioning that you need to open the AndroidManifest.xml by Android Manifest Editor - by right click on the file in Package Explorer. – Asphalt

Note: Have to do a clean before you build after changing the icon. – Porcine

Answer 6

Rob R.'s answer was definitely the way to go. I tried copying the ic_launcher.png files from another project and Eclipse still wouldn't read them. Going through the manifest is much quicker and easier.
