B4J Question Changing Compiled Stand Alone application name

[John Sturt]

Hello All

I need to change the application name that appears when a app has been compiled and installed.

Currently I get OpenJDK binary file running in the task bar.

I have read the thread that uses Resource Hacker and cannot make this work.

Any tips or other methods?
Thanks
