after trying every suggestion found here , elsewhere on web seek java vm stop putting java cup icon on mac dock, i've found solution causing in case. posting hoping help others.

what work, @ to the lowest degree in particular case, given next in our pom.xml configure surefire:

<plugin> <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid> <artifactid>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactid> <version>${org.apache.maven.plugins.surefire-version}</version> <configuration> <argline>-djava.awt.headless=true</argline> <reuseforks>false</reuseforks> <forkcount>20</forkcount> <excludedgroups>com.xxx.yyyy.util.integrationtests</excludedgroups> </configuration> </plugin>

the prepare beingness adding of -djava.awt.headless=true.

you want configure maven_opts. did in .bashrc file:

export maven_opts=-djava.awt.headless=true

no more annoying icons pop , take focus current window.

hope helpful.
