Build ID: I20070327-0800 Steps To Reproduce: While launching Eclipse the title bar says "untitled window" in a bottom panel. It should stay with "Eclipse" until starting process isn't completed.

Andrew: I could set this once we come up but is there any way to set it earlier? As soon as you open the shell perhaps?
I'm sure I should be able to set the window title natively.
Bug 179053 looks like a dupe.
I'm guessing this should probably be fixed in the native launcher but I'm not sure we have sufficient information at that point. We can't simply call the window Eclipse because that will affect RCP developers. I could set the title on the shell to be the same name we pull out for the About menu but I dont come along until late in the startup cycle. Opinions Andrew?

The launcher takes the name from the executable that launched it. This works if the java vm was started in-process. If java was forked then we don't currently have a name to put up.

Created attachment 68340 [details] binaries recompiled with patch for testing
After some testing, it seems this patch is not strictly necessary. Andrew, Tomasz, can you please try with RC1. I believe this may be fixed indirectly by changes for bug 185936. That is you get either the name of the eclipse executable or nothing (not untitled) depending on how the vm was started.
Sorry, I'm able to reproduce it with both I20070517-1700 (3.3RC1) and I20070523-0010. A window titled "untitled window" still appears in window list applet. Is there any extra information I can provide to help you with this bug?
Thomasz, I need to decide if this is the same as bug 174187. What happens if you try the binaries that are attached to this bug. (the .so file goes in the launcher.gtk.linux.x86 fragment in the plugins directory). Also how is your vm being started: If you go to Help->About->Configuration Details, look for the -vm that is part of the eclipse.commands property, does it point to a java executable or to a libjvm.so file?
I replaced the .so file from the fragment with the one from the attachment and restarted Eclipse. Unfortunately, I can see no difference :/ I belive this part of my configuration details will answer your second question: *** System properties: eclipse.buildId=I20070523-0010 eclipse.commands=-os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -showsplash /home/tzarna/eclipse-SDK-I20070523-0010-linux-gtk//plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.3.0.v20070419/splash.bmp -launcher /home/tzarna/eclipse-SDK-I20070523-0010-linux-gtk/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /home/tzarna/eclipse-SDK-I20070523-0010-linux-gtk/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.0.0.v20070516/eclipse_1017.so -startup /home/tzarna/eclipse-SDK-I20070523-0010-linux-gtk/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070516.jar -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/bin/../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so eclipse.ee.install.verify=false eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide eclipse.startTime=1180043221112 eclipse.vm=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/bin/../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so eclipse.vmargs=-Xms40m -Xmx256m -Djava.class.path=/home/tzarna/eclipse-SDK-I20070523-0010-linux-gtk/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070516.jar eof=eof file.encoding=UTF-8 (...)
we should set the title explicitly. bug 191072 is the change to untitled
To clarify, bug 190616 fixes the "untitled window". This patch fixes the problem where we are not setting the proper title. We should be setting the title to be the official name (specified with -name). Currently the title is just the name of executable (or if a link was used, potentially the name of the link).
(In reply to comment #15) > To clarify, bug 190616 fixes the "untitled window". This was a typo, I meant bug 191072. Steve, does this get a +1?
I could have swore I already checked the patch and +1'd it. Was there another bug with the same patch?
done in head. I'm not sure what you would have looked at Steve unless it was the x86 vs ppc bug that I accidently referred to above 190616
Was this released into I20070607-0010? If so, this is not fixed, see attached Screen shot 2.

Daniel, this bug had the fix that the task bar was not showing the proper official name, bug 191072 is about the change to "untitled window". If you start with "eclipse -name MYNAME" then you should expect to see MYNAME in the task bar. If it changes to untitled window then it is bug 191072 that is not fixed. Note that both of these are working for me when I try I20070607-0010. If there is no name at all, that is bug 174187.
Could it be a window manager thing?
It's bug 174187 I'm seeing. Reopening this one happened by mistake. Sorry.
Mmmh. Even if I use -name foo it doesn't work. Not even on Windows XP. See bug 191072 comment 9.
I tried out the I20070724-0800 build and it worked for me. I followed the steps below: 1. Downloaded the I-build 2. Started Eclipse by clicking on the executable "eclipse" file. Instead of the "untitled window" title I'm getting "Eclipse" now. So, I assume I can mark this particular bug as verified.
