Description nedenom 2012-10-22 09:08:01 UTC 
Now that the WM_CLASS is set correctly in Netbeans, the installer should specify StartupWMClass in the .desktop file to avoid the double icon problem in the Unity launcher in Ubuntu.

Eg. for Netbeans 7.2, the netbeans-7.2.desktop file should include the following line:

StartupWMClass=NetBeans IDE 7.2

I am still unable to reproduce this "double icon" bug, so I cannot correctly setup the .desktop file to avoid it.

Can I ask you for better info about your system - Ubuntu version, JDK version...

Helpful also could be the IDE log - In NB main menu - View - IDE Log - System info block should be enough.

Thanks

This has been a common problem with Unity and Java applications, also check out this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/757991

The related issue partly fixes this.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and Java 1.6.

Just to clarify my previous comment:

The related issue I mentioned that partly fixes this, is this one: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183739 (listed in the "See Also" of the current issue)

The link to Unity issue tracker was only meant for background info.
