Just to comment on why we cant match Java apps, take a look at this one (JabRef):

First, the ppid is 1 so we get nothing useful there. Second, the path is the java command-line (which makes sense) however the launcher for JabRef is 'wrapped' in a launcher script. So we cant easily figure out that that command-line matches that launcher! Thus there is no match and I get 2 icons (the launcher, and a 'default' window icon).
