Question Java Desktop Icon - which window manager?

I have a Java app that is deployed on several Unix systems. Until recently, starting it from the command line was no problem. A recent requirement is to deliver a desktop icon that will launch the app.

I have launched apps with icons before, but that was when I knew exactly which window manager where the app would be running. For this app, it could be any window manager.

Is there a way to deliver some kind of Java app that would reside on the desktop and would work for all window managers? I could use this new Java Icon app to launch my old program. Or, do I have to be able to "sense" which window manager the app is installed under, and deliver a "window manager" specific icon for each different window manager? This could require a lot of work.

Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Herb Miller

TALAGENT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       TALAGENT(8)

NAME
talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. SYNOPSIS
talagent [command [arguments]] DESCRIPTION
The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. talagent may also be run manually as a command line tool to output information about persistent state. The options are as follows: -help Outputs usage information. -dump bundle_id_fragment Outputs the persistent state of an application whose bundle ID contains the given fragment, case insensitive ("textedit" for example). You may also pass a path directly to the app's persistent state directory, usually in ~/Library/Saved Application State. -launch bundle_id This launches an app (in this case, TextEdit) in a manner approximating how apps get launched at login. You can pass either a bundle ID fragment or a path to an app. The app is maintained stopped until you hit return in the launching window (or until it receives SIGCONT). This is the easiest way to test the login scenario without needing to log in. -casinfo [ASN] With no arguments, outputs summary information about all apps. With one argument (an ASN), outputs the CAS record for that app. -memory_pressure Simulates memory pressure, which may cause apps that support automatic termination to exit. This does not actually allocate any memory. -refresh_encryption Rotates the bitmap encryption key, and attempts to cross-encrypt all existing window bitmaps under the new key. This is done periodically by talagent. HISTORY
