Hi,
I hava java app on mac. It creates an .app on desktop. The newly
created app has .icns file which will display as an icon on desktop.
If I modify the newly created app and change the .icns file, it
doesn't get refreshed on desktop.
Is there any way to refresh the desktop or how can I display the new
.icns for the app. I can do it manually by relaunching the finder.
After relaunching the finder it display the updated icns file.
Please let me know if anyone has the answer.....

Another way to (manually) get the Finder to recognize new icons is to copy
the application. It's possible that if you programmatically copy the app
then the Finder will pickup the change. Something like:

rename old app to app.old
copy app.old to app
delete app.old

Worth a try.
