First you have to find the .desktop file for JDownloader.

You can do so by checking these folders:
	1. ~/.local/share/applications (If you are unable to find .local press Ctrl + H to unhide Hidden files.
	2. /usr/share/applications
	3. It will appear in Your Desktop if you installed JDownloader manually (not by snap).
 
you can find it by running this command in terminal:

$ sudo find / -iname "*jdownloader*.desktop"

NOTE: The file might have different names like install4j_105m6n-JDownloader2 but it will always carry JDownloader in its filename

Now open .desktop file of Jdownloader in Text editor.

in terminal type:

nano <filename>.desktop

For my case:
nano install4j_105m6n-JDownloader2.desktop

(If you want to open it in GUI text editors like Gedit etc 
then right click and click on "Don't allow launching".
You will be able to open the file)

Now open JDownloader (Ignore that it opens in a separate window)

HOVER over the icon of JDownloader in Dock/Panel/Taskbar. You will see some
text (In my case it is JDownloader).

Go to your .desktop file and write that text in "StartupWMClass" area
Save the file and your work is done.

If you edited the desktop one,
  then copy the file to ~/.local/share/applications

NOTE : Paste it in one folder only, or two shortcuts will appear if you paste in both.

Have a nice day.
