Prevent Java icon from popping up in dock

votes

I am using Intellij IDEA on Mac OSX 10.9.2. Usually I have the IDE on another space, and I switch between both. The problem is that when I run something from the IDE, the Java icon pops up in the dock, switching the space automatically, so I have to switch back to the IDE each time this happens. It is really annoying.

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I have tried the "headless" option, but it doesn't work.

When you say another desktop, do you mean you have multiple monitors? – mdewitt
@mdewitt I don't have several physical monitors, only one. What I have is several desktops: I switch between them using Ctrl+arrow. I think they are called "Spaces", so will edit. – Ypsilon
This really doesn't belong on SO as it's not a programming question. Try SuperUser. – xdumaine

you should try right-clicking the icon in your dock and selecting "assign to both desktops" on the icon that's bugging you...
it should do the trick

BTW, this isn't a java question , it's a mac OSX question
