This used to work for my AppConverter application. I haven't tried it lately. If you still have a Apple JVM application just try dragging it to the application. That should tell you if it works. 
If it doesn't something maybe is broke now. 
If it does you can check the source, I believe OSXApplication was the class.
Not sure I tested dragging to the Dock though, I usually tested dragging to the app itself.
