MacOS: -Xdock:name not working

[Ph3n1x 0]

I am trying to integrate my application more into OS X. When my main class is com.example.HelloWorld, then usually the name in the dock is HelloWorld, unless you change it with -Xdock:name="MyProgram".

Sadly, this does not work with Excelsior! It also seems, that the resulting main class after jetcp is named "app", as that is always the name in the dock when I start the jet optimized file.

 

Edit: I am using the maven plugin:

<jvmArgs>
    <jvmArg>-Xdock:name="MyProgram"</jvmArg>
</jvmArgs>

I figured out, that the name 'app' does not come from the main class name, but from the directory I started it from. When I start the application from the directory 'test', in the dock the application is also named 'test'.

Hello, you should use JVM options

-Dapple.awt.application.icon
-Dapple.awt.application.name

instead of

-Xdock:icon
-Xdock:name

for customizing your AWT application using Excelsior JET.

 

Please note that for better user experience on OS X you may pack your application as an application bundle: https://github.com/excelsior-oss/excelsior-jet-maven-plugin#creating-os-x-application-bundles-and-installers
