Using JDK8, you can set the apple.awt.application.name property to affect the Application menu name.

However, Martijn Courteaux’s warning still applies: you must do this before any AWT classes are loaded. And AWT classes will be loaded before your main() method runs if it lives in a subclass of JFrame.
