Thanks for your PR! 🙂 For some reason though, the title in the Dock still shows up as "java":

I've pushed a fix. Tested locally and the Dock now correctly shows "IDEasy". Could you pull the latest commit and recheck on your end? |

This PR fixes #2206
Implemented changes:
ide guinow launches the JavaFX process through a symlink namedIDEasythat points to the realjavaexecutable, instead of exec-ingjavadirectly. macOS derives the Dock/menu bar title from the launched executable's filename (this GUI has no native app bundle), so this makes the title read "IDEasy" instead of "java". No-op on Windows/Linux.System.setProperty("apple.awt.application.name", "IDEasy")inApp.javawas tried and verified (by building and running the GUI locally) to have no effect, since this GUI is pure JavaFX (Glass toolkit) and that property is only read by AWT's toolkit.Testing instructions
ide gui(or build theguimodule and runcom.devonfw.ide.gui.AppLaunchervia the sameexec:execMaven invocation used by theguicommandlet).com.devonfw.tools.ide.tool.gui.GuiTestcover the executable resolution: a symlink namedIDEasyis created and used on macOS, while Windows/Linux keep using the plainjavaexecutable unchanged.Checklist for this PR
