I'm deploying applications using Java Web Start.
To my surprise, one can pin programs to the taskbar in Windows 7, however to my understanding this is only possible if the process in which the program runs is the same than the one that is behind the taskbar icon.
With a JWS application, that's not the case so the application can not be pinned to the taskbar, as shown in the following example:
The "u" is my application shortcut, pinned (from the start menu). The other (ugly) icon is the actual application, ran in another process, creating another icon which cannot be pinned. I only get the "Close window" option.
Would it be possible to have a pinnable JWS application?
