Java: Replacing the coffee cup icon in the top-left corner of the Window

Question

Java Swing applications by default have the Java coffee cup icon appear in the top left corner of the application.

I would like to replace this with my own image - what API is used?

Can this be done at run time, or must something be done at install time?

Thanks!

Take a look at [ How do I set an Application's Icon Globally in Swing? ](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/103179/how-do-i-set-an-applications-icon-globally-in-swing) and [ How do I change the default application icon in Java? ](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/209812/how-do-i-change-the-default-application-icon-in-java). — Matthew Flaschen, Sep 17 '10 at 02:19

Look at the setIconImage method.

@camickr It didn't show up as a dup when I posted it... I just found that out now. – TofuBeer Sep 17 '10 at 14:50

I figured that was the case. When I looked at the question it was answer 14 seconds before I browsed it. The point about a more recent link is another reason why I don't include links to the API. I just point out the method since every programmer should have easy access to the API for whatever version they are using. You can't assume version 5 or 6 is the proper API. – camickr Sep 17 '10 at 15:56
