I'm developing a simple Java swing application and of-course I'm noob learning java . When I run that program it shows "java" text tool-tip on mac dock .

screenshot here

How can i remove that text and replace with my own text . I tried this code but it doesn't work . the code i tried :

System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name", "My text");

thanks in advance .

You my need to supply an app bundle, something like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24978212/jar-to-mac-osx-app-bundle-with-app-bundler/24992828#24992828) – MadProgrammer Mar 10 '16 at 10:45
The other option might be to use the -Xdock:name parameter, demonstrated [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24977637/adding-menubar-space-on-mac/24977799#24977799) – MadProgrammer Mar 10 '16 at 10:47
