How to make a Windows 10 application that overlaps on the taskbar?

I made a java program, exported it from Ecplise as a runnable jar, and then used an app called "Launch4j" to wrap it with an icon into a .exe

This picture shows another app I have on the left. It has 2 instances open and you can see they overlap on the taskbar. My app is the little house, and the two java icons on the right are 2 instances of my app. How can I make my app overlap on the original icon like the other app?

2 instances of an app that overlaps and 2 instances of my app that do not overlap

Edit:

Additionally, in task manager, my app opens as "Java(TM) Platform SE Binary" instead of the .exe file as you can see eclipse does.

enter image description here

Thanks!

I'm guessing that windows uses the AppId to determine what buttons to stack on the taskbar.

So you would need to tell windows the AppId, which I don't think is very easy with Launch4j.

Instead you might try Inno Setup, here's a good answer explaining the differences.

Inno Setup should include examples which tell you how to specify your AppId among other things.
