I have noticed this exact behavior with Oracle's SQLDeveloper. If you install a program through the package manager (synaptic, apt-get, dpkg, etc.) then you can hit the super key, type the name of the program, and then select it from the list to launch it. This prevents multiple icons from appearing on my system, but isn't ideal since you still can't have a shortcut icon in the launcher.

I do notice other strange behavior with SQLDeveloper but I'm not sure if happens with all Java programs or not. Certain actions within SQLDeveloper (such as adding a new connection) cause the window borders to disappear from all windows. You can no longer see the borders, click the close/min/max buttons, or move the window (unless you hold ALT and drag the window around). The only way to fix it is to restart the X session (i.e. logout/login). This might be an entirely separate issue though?
