Hi:

I created the application with extensions *.exe and *.jar.

But both applications came out with the "J" icon embedded. "To run the application *.exe just double-click on the "J" icon. " Bummer...I want to tell people "click on the cool looking icon" to run the application.

How do I put my own icon on my applications using JBuilderX?

Also, How do I add an icon to the top left corner of a frame?

thanks,

You can't change the jar icon without changing it for all jars. As for on exe, this is up to jbuilderx (has little to do with java itself). As for the top left corner, use Frame.setIconImage().

Yeah...I would like to change that ugly "J" icon for all jar files and *.exe I create. I know it has nothing to with java. It's a jbuilder thing...but their documentation doesn't mention anything about it.

I know you can change the icon of anything after has been set up already. But I want to put my own icon before the application has been created.

How would I do that on JBuilderX?

The jar icon is a filetype association thing, you can change that easily, but for _all_ jar files, not just yours. The icon for an exe is different, the icon is builtin.

I know it's built-in. I figured that out a long time ago.

But the icon got there through JbuilderX. Not thanks to a manual process I did.

Can you tell me how to make those changes for <b>all the jar files</b> and *.exe in jBuilderX so I can have my own icons or you don't know?

If you know/don't know just say it. No need to play chess and wait for my next move bro.

Thanks for your time by the way,

I have no idea how to change the exe icon in jbuilderx. For the jar files, this can be done in Windows via Explorer->Folder Options. One of the tabs has all the filetypes, and from there you change the icon for jars. You can add filetypes there too.

My point is exactly the opposite. I do not want to change icons manually.

That's why I need to find out how to do it in jBuilderX before I deploy my applications. Unfortunately, their documentation is completetly silent regarding this issue.

I happen to use Linux (Am I in the right place right ) . All my jar files will run on Linux. I don't have the explorer ( ? ) capability but I guess your point is that I need change icons manually. I'm tired of doing that. That's why I asked if I could do that straight from jBuilderX.

The executables *.exe will run on emulators and virtual machines. Same situation. I don't want to tell people to change the icons manually.
