I'm sure this is a known issue, but Eclipse behaves strangely when pinned to the taskbar.  What happens is that when you pin the eclipse.exe application to the Windows 7 taskbar, it appears "unlaunched" next to any running copy of eclipse.  As a separate issue, the EE/SE versions of eclipse have the same icon (though not when running) so they are hard to distinguish.  Is there any way, given that Eclipse is a Java application, to address Windows taskbar  integration?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Pin eclipse to the taskbar

I think this bug is a duplicate of bug 314805.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
