In Java this does it, but how to change it from B4J?

Java

B4X:

System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");
System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name", "ImageRotator");

This is what it looks like when I added the code. It did not change anything it seems.
I have no idea what's being changed. I found the original Java code online.
I am sure this screenshot will help to track how to make neccessary changes.

Using Java 8 on Mac OS X 10.9, setting the System property

System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name","Name");
appears to be ineffectual in changing the name displayed in the application menu. Alternatives that still work include these:

• By default, the application menu will display the simple name of the class specified in the javacommand line or the Main-Class attribute of the JAR's manifest.
  
  java -cp build/classes mypackage.Name
  java -jar dist/MyJar.jar
• Use the -Xdock:name="Name" command line parameter.
  
  java -Xdock:name="Name"-cp build/classes mypackage.Main
  java -Xdock:name="Name"-jar MyJar.jar
• Add the application JAR to a Mac application bundle, as shown here, an add the attribute to the Info.plist.
  
  <key>JVMOptions</key>
  <string>-Xdock:name=Name</string>

See this thread: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/osx-native-menu.58561

It will work once you create a package for your app.

The B4A library is compatible with B4J:
