Jar Bundler and icons



I'm a long time Java developer, but have only had my Mac for a week 
now, so please excuse me if I get some of my terminology wrong.

I have a small Java application that consists of a few jar files that 
I bundled together into a Mac application. The app ran beautifully the 
first time around - much better than on Windows or Linux where I have 
to have a batch file/script to set everything up (as well as deal with 
the possibility of no JVM installed).

Anyway, I wanted to be more Mac-like, so I tried to associate an icon 
file. I hacked together an .icns file, and pointed to it in Bundler. 
The application that gets created does not have this icon - what I 
mean is the thing that gets clicked on to launch doesn't have this 
icon. The icon that shows is some generic application icon, very 
similar to the icon on the Applications folder.

However, when I launch the application, my icon DOES show up in the 
dock, and it does get bigger and smaller when I mouse over the dock 
(very cool).

Anyway, I have no idea how to fix this or what to look at, or even if 
this is a real problem. Please let me know how to proceed on this.
