KDE Plasma - Pin to Taskbar problem

I'm using 3  IntelliJ IDEs

1) Webstorm
2) Goland
3) Pycharm

Both webstorm and goland, once I pinned to the taskbar, can be launched
But if I pin Pycharm, the resulting Icon wont launch - the tooltip shows "Java" instead of "Pycharm"

The difference between the three processes is :

 
/home/rep/apps/WebStorm/jre/jre/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/a:/home/rep/apps/WebStorm/lib/boot.jar -...
/home/rep/apps/goland/jbr/bin/java -classpath /home/rep/apps/goland/lib/bootstrap.jar ...
/home/rep/apps/pycharm/jre64/bin/java -classpath /home/rep/apps/pycharm/lib/bootstrap.jar ...

Does it have anything to do with the java version?

Thanks in advance

Re: KDE Plasma - Pin to Taskbar problem

Hi there. Would you mind giving out some more details on this?

1. What version of Pycharm did you install (community or professional) and how did you install it?

2. Did you install Pycharm in any way differently from WebStorm and Goland?

3. Can you launch Pycharm from the terminal or by clicking in the icon anywhere else?

4. Would you mind posting the .desktop file for pycharm?

5. What version of KDE Plasma are you using?

Also, try updating your plasma package:

 sudo pacman -S plasma 

Finally, did you take a look at this bug? It seems it has been around for quite some time now but I'm not sure they fixed it by now.
