XMLWordPrintable

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      Need a way to set AppUserModelID for java and javaw on Windows. A command line option would be ideal.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Executables that are are part of one software package should usually group together on the Windows taskbar. Currently, there is no easy way to get related Java and native application to group together, and not to group with unrelated Java applications.


      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Create a temporary Windows shortcut with desired ID in order to launch Java. This is cumbersome and error prone.
