B4J Question How to change visible name in task manager?

[amorosik]

I have a program created in B4J After verifying that it worked correctly
I compiled it in release and created the package with 'create standalone package'
Let's suppose that the file ..\objects\temps\build\pippo.exe is created
When I start the program on Windows, 'OpenJDK Platform binary' appears in the task manager
In essence, the name of the executable file started and the name of the process visible in the task manager are different
How can I make the same name as the file created by the package manager (and therefore in my case pippo.exe) appear in the Windows Task Manager?

Use Resource Hacker. You can change the icon too.

Using Resource Hacker to replace 'OpenJDK Platform' app name and icon

There are a few question threads about using Resource Hacker to make sure that your app name and icon appear everywhere you might want it to such as in the taskbar/Task Manager/File Properties, but I don't think anyone's done a tutorial on using it, or what can be accomplished with it. So I...

When you use 'Create Standalone Package' two separate executables are created, with the same file name
The first one inside ..\objects\temp\build
The second one in ..\objects\temp\build\bin

Which one is the real executable that needs to be modified with Resource hacker ?
I ask this because I tried to modify the 'File Description' field on both, but so far without success

If you read the tutorial, it is the second, on point #2.

I think you will find the one in objects/temp/build/bin is not actually your app but a renamed javaw.exe ( the theory being if you rename javaw.exe then task manager shows that in place of OpenJDK Platform binary) although this doesn't seem to work on my windows 11.

**edited: corrected java > javaw (as properties tell me it was originally javaw.exe)

It works on my Windows 11 pc.
