I use netbeans in Ubuntu Natty. I have added it in the launcher and it works. But there is an issue. When I start netbeans it shows two Icons. One is for the launcher and the other for the active netbeans (the latter's icon is with little white triangle). Is there a workaround?

There is a netbeans plugin that works around this problem: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/40321/unity-launcher

I found it is a bug in unity described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bamf/+bug/751909 I will keep an eye on the ticked and see if it is fixed. If they wont fix it until october, I will upgrade to Oneiric

open up gksudo /usr/share/applications and delete one of the netbeans.desktop

As Curious Apprentice mentions, go to /usr/share/applications and edit the .desktop file which corresponds to your NetBeans installation. In my case, this file was named netbeans-6.8.desktop

Add the following two lines to the end of the file (in my case, after Terminal=0)

StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=java-lang-Thread
