create a single instance application with the single instance JNLP API
launch the application and create shortcuts for it
now click on the shortcuts multiple times - you would expect only one instance of the app should launch since it's a single instance application
but this is not the case currently - due to the limitation of the single instance API. The single instance nature will only start when the API is executed in the application. So currently you will need to launch the application first, wait for it to come up completely; and then multiple clicks of the app shortcut will give you back the same instance.
