However, it looks like we will now override the application icon if an icon was specified via property name or if -Xdock:name was used. Is that intentional? If so I think it's worth a comment or two. I _think_ this is the right way to go. In my opinion, it's a developer error if the application was bundled and the developer used CFBundleIconFile, but then also set apple.awt.application.icon or "-Xdock:icon=" in the Info.plist or in code. What did Apple's JDK 6 do? I can't remember now. I think we should follow the rules set there, and document them one way or the other. Any thoughts? -- Scott K.
