What property in Netbeans to I need to change to set the name of my java swing app in the OS X menubar and dock? I found info.plist, but changing @PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIEER@ in multiple keys here had no effect.
Thanks, hating netbeans.

Check:
nbproject/project.properties
nbproject/project.xml
in project.xml look for the name element...
But... Why not just select the main project and right click and do rename?

This is not NetBeans-specific, but this article has some useful tips about tweaking your Swing apps so that they fit in on OS X.

The answer depends on how you run your application. If you run it from the command line, use '-Xdock:name=appname' in the JVM arguments. See the section "More tinkering with the menu bar" in the article linked to by Dan Dyer.
If you are making a bundled, double-clickable application, however, you just need to set the standard CFBundle-related keys in your application's Info.plist (see the documentation on Info.plist keys for more details).
