I have done this in earlier version of KDE but it the latest Kubuntu 14.04 I can't seem to find a way to create a desktop icon to launch a java app.
Specifically I can use "java -jar /home/steve/Arachnophilia.jar" to launch the program from the command line.
I created a file Arachnophilia.desktop with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[en_US]=Website Editor
Comment=Website Editor
Exec=java -jar /home/steve/Arachnophilia.jar
GenericName[en_US]=
GenericName=
Icon=/home/steve/Arachnophilia.png
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=Arachnophilia
Name=Arachnophilia
Path=/home/steve/Web Pages/
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
I placed the file in ~/Desktop/ and set it executable, but it is not showing up on my desktop.
What do I need to do?
