asked on Run two instances of the same Java JNLP simultaneously
I'm trying to find a way to simultaneously launch multiple instances of the same Java .jnlp on the same PC. Currently the .jnlp is called from a shortcut using Java SE with the following paths:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.7.0_75\bin
Unfortunately I get the error: "An instance of ProgamName is already running. ONly one may be running at a time."
The developer insists that this is a limitation of Java, and suggested using a terminal server to open a second instance on the same PC, which seems cumbersome and ridiculous to me. My hope is that there is some way to perhaps specify a differnt application name from the shortcut or from a launch script that would allow java to think they are tow different applications.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have a jnlp that checks my download speed. It's a system tray app. Here are two of them running simultaneously

Well, I suppose that would suggest that perhaps Java is not to blame then.

Thank you, that confirms that it isn't Java, but rather the application.
