How to pin Spring Tool Suite to Windows 7 taskbar [closed]

Question

When Spring Tool Suite is started, right-clicking on the icon in the task bar doesn't show the pin-to-taskbar option (only new task..., activate task... and close window are available). No option for pinning STS to the taskbar.

Is there any way to pin STS to the taskbar?

Answer 1

I had this issue with the x64 version of STS 3.2.0-RELEASE on Windows 7. The following worked for me which is also documented here:

• Check your eclipse.ini and make sure that the VM path points to the bin directory of your JDK or JRE and not to javaw.exe. For me the argument is D:/Development/Languages/Java/Development Kit/bin/
• Unpin Eclipse from the taskbar or delete the shortcut
• Run eclipse.exe from Windows Explorer and choose your workspace
• Pin Eclipse to the taskbar after the splash screen has loaded and when the main window is shown
