Hi John Just wanted to say that I have noticed the same issue on Windows 7. I will be grateful if you find a fix and can submit it to the community. Best regards David From: John Smith [mailto:leg...@gm...] Sent: 24 March 2011 20:17 To: Vampire Cc: jed...@li... Subject: Re: [ jEdit-users ] Pinning jEdit Properly to Windows 7 taskbar Thanks. After looking at Launch4j, I don't think the fix is there. Reading around, it seems like jEdit might not be setting its Application User Model ID (AppUserModelID). So what is happening is that I have jedit.exe pinned to the taskbar, but when I launch it Windows 7 thinks the actual program is javaw.exe. I referred to the following links for my information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378459%28VS.85%29.aspx http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1907735/using-jna-to-get-set-application-identifier Is it acceptable for me to modify jEdit to explicitly sets it's Model ID on windows 7? This would of course be OS-specific.

You find the sourcecode in the Launch4J project at http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/. In the jEdit source you can find the corresponding configuration file at http://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jedit/jEdit/trunk/package-files/windows/jedit.launch4j.xml?view=markup Regards Vampire John Smith schrieb: Thanks. However, I don't think it's a jEdit server issue (I'm pretty confident I disabled the server from automatically starting), as it's a Java issue. I see the same behaviour for other Java apps. Where/how can I grab the source code for jedit.exe? I would like to play around with it to see if I can eliminate this issue.

The C code looks more or less like: CreateProcess(NULL, cmdline, NULL, NULL, TRUE, priority, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi)) WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE); GetExitCodeProcess(pi.hProcess, &dwExitCode); CloseHandle(pi.hThread); CloseHandle(pi.hProcess); return dwExitCode; Better would be a call via JNI for which also a patch for Launch4J exists but it is not accepted and rather outdated now. But I don't think this has any relevance to your "problem". If you have chosen "Start jEdit Server automatically on system startup" on installation time, then if you startup Windows, jEdit is also started but without GUI and is running in the background, ready to quickly show the GUI if you need it to. I guess you have chosen this and you can verify this by looking in the last line of the About... dialog where it then says "background mode". If this is the case as I suppose, then running jEdit again will actually connect to the running jEdit instance and tell it what you want to do instead of starting jEdit again. Because of this I guess you have the described behaviour. You could disable the automatic startup of the jEdit server on system startup to change this behaviour, but then you have to wait longer for jEdit to start up as it has to start completely and not show only the GUI. For temporary tryout of the different behaviour you can also quit jEdit completely. If you use the upper right X to close the jEdit windows, you only close the GUI if jEdit is running in background mode and the jEdit server stays running. If you choose Quit from the File menu, then jEdit is completely quit and I guess the behaviour of your pinned item changes.

However, when I launch it, a second icon appears, and the original one I pinned is in "running" mode. I've noticed this for many other java apps, such as Eclipse or Netbeans. Does anyone know how I might fix this? If this requires programmatic changes, could someone tell me how jedit.exe works (i.e., how does it launch the java program), so I might fix it?
