    Getting Eclipse to play nicely with the Dock

    Most applications group. I have downloaded Eclipse from eclipse.org (as opposed to installing the Snap; historically I've always encountered issues with the prebuilt versions outside of eclipse.org) and added an appropriate .desktop file:

    Code:
    charles@charles-H310M:~$ cat .local/share/applications/eclipse-photon.desktop 
    #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
    [Desktop Entry]
    Comment=Java IDE
    Terminal=false
    StartupNotify=true
    Name=Eclipse Photon
    Categories=Development;IDE;
    Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/charles/Applications/eclipse/eclipse
    Type=Application
    Icon=/home/charles/Applications/eclipse/icon.xpm
    However Eclipse is not playing nicely with the dock, leading to situations like this:



    On the left is the icon as added by 'Add to favourites' and on the right are the instances.

    Note: I am using Dash 2 Panel but the problem occurs in the standard dock too.

    I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to solve this in Linux. I managed to make it work fine in Windows but I would dearly love to solve this in Gnome too.
