Netbeans icon on linux is doubled

See original GitHub issue

Description

When you add netbeans icon into favorite bar (Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome) you get icon to easily start netbeans. When you start netbeans with this icon, second icon will appear in favorite bar. This is due to icon file (~/.local/share/applications/Apache NetBeans-14.desktop) not havving StartupWMClass property.

This can be easily fixed. (But I don’t know, where is code for this icon in Netbeans source code). Adding StartupWMClass=Apache NetBeans IDE 14 will fix this issue.

Example of original Apache NetBeans-14.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Apache NetBeans IDE 14
Comment=The Smarter Way to Code
Exec=/bin/sh "/home/pavel/netbeans-14/netbeans/bin/netbeans"
Icon=/home/pavel/netbeans-14/netbeans/nb/netbeans.png
Categories=Application;Development;Java;IDE
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=0

Example of fixed version:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Apache NetBeans IDE 14
Comment=The Smarter Way to Code
Exec=/bin/sh "/home/pavel/netbeans-14/netbeans/bin/netbeans"
Icon=/home/pavel/netbeans-14/netbeans/nb/netbeans.png
Categories=Application;Development;Java;IDE
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=0
StartupWMClass=Apache NetBeans IDE 14
