#1099 Dock icon and menu bar name in Mac OS

[Michael Schmid]

In version 3.5 for Mac OS, the standard Java logo is used in the dock, and the application’s name in the menu bar is “Main”. To fix it, add -Xdock:icon=../acorn.icns -Xdock:name=Squirrel to MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS in squirrel-sql.sh.

Alternatively, to fix the application menu name change the startup script:
/Applications/SQuirreLSQL.app/Contents/MacOS/squirrel-sql.sh
to redefine MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS from

MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS="-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name=SQuirreLSQL"

to

MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS="-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name=SQuirreLSQL -Dapple.awt.application.name=SQuirreLSQL"

Leave com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name for old macs (doesn't work on new macs) and add apple.awt.application.name for new macs (old macs ignore this value).

This fixes the name in the dock, the menu bar, and the CMD-tab menu. This does not address the icon, but the values in /Applications/SQuirreLSQL.app/Contents/Info.plist do so for me. Of course, all of this only works for the .app version, not the jar run directly.
