How to set app name in macOS, gradle?

[Rob Nikander]

Hi,

I’m trying to set the text shown in the macOS menubar. The advice I see online says to use -Xdock:name, but when I try that, I still see “java” in the menubar. Is there a way to make it use “MyAppName”?  Some of my build.gradle.kts file is shown below.

plugins {
    application
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.10"
    id("org.openjfx.javafxplugin") version "0.0.9"
}

application {
    mainClass.set(“myapp.MainKt")
    applicationName = "MyAppName" 
    applicationDefaultJvmArgs = listOf(
            "-Xdock:name=MyAppName"
    )
}

javafx {
    version = "15"
    modules = listOf("javafx.controls”)
}
