Description Michael Giroux

In the Windows XP platform, if multiple instances of an application are running, the icons for all of the instances are grouped into a single taskbar entry.  Clicking on the entry displays a list of executing instances of eclipse.

On my system, the grouping occurs when more than one instance is running.  When the grouping occurs, the icon that appears on the task bar is a simple console window icon, not the eclipse icon.  When the list is dispalyed, the icons for each entry *are* correct, but the taskbar icon itself is incorrect.

This is a minor cosmetic issue, but it would be nice if it can be resolved as it improves the overall user experience.

Still can't fix this because we don't own javaw.exe.
