Description Nathan CLA 2011-03-11 12:47:26 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When Eclipse opens a new instance, it does not occupy the pinned icon on the Windows 7 taskbar like other pinned programs. Opening a second instance of eclipse does not result in stacked eclipse icons on the taskbar like normal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on eclipse.exe in eclipse directory
2. Set "Pin to Taskbar"
3. Click on pinned icon in taskbar
4. New icon appears on taskbar for open instance of eclipse.
5.

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.
