On Oracle Linux 5.0, 6.5, I can drag and drop an application menu item to application launcher panel. So I can start an application by clicking icon from the launcher panel. But under Oracle Linux 7, I was not able to do so.
Can anyone help?

I just migrated from a Windows machine to a Linux machine and I use Eclipse. In eclipse, on the windows machine, I used to have multiple buttons in the top right of the console view for starting, stopping, etc. In the Linux version of Eclipse I only have these buttons when I hover over maximize in the console view, and then they snap back after a brief period. Is there a way to make these buttons permanent in the console view on Eclipse for Linux?

It looks like this was an issue with the theme I was using (Moonrise UI). I switch the eclipse theme to either Moonrise (Standalone) or to Dark from Moonrise and my issue was fixed!
I use InnoSetup to create application installer. Since I am installing a plugin for an existing application, I don't want the application icon to show up in the Start menu shortcuts. How to prevent InnoSetup from creating Start menu shortcuts?
InnoSetup will only create icons if you have entries in your [Icons] section. Remove all of the entries and your installer won't create any icons.
In devnull's scenario, another task to do could be to hide the installed plugin from the list of the installed Programs and Features on Windows control panel.
In order to so, you need to add this line of code in your InnoSetup script:
CreateUninstallRegKey=no
I just installed WIX 3.10 and I'm using VS 2012 Ultimate. I have then successfully added a WIX setup project to my solution but that's about as far as I can go because the WIX menu is not showing up. The commands buttons that should appear at the top of the solution explorer window does not appear, neither does the shortcut button that appears just below the 'clean' button when you right click the project. I have tried uninstalling and restarting my PC several times but still the same.

I'm obviously missing something, but what? Thanks very much.
The designer you're looking for is from a 3rd party commercial product:

Normally one would write most Wix files by hand. It's relatively simple XML and the documentation isn't bad.
You can install the extension: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Then in the search box type 'wix' and Enter.
The extension name is 'Designer for Visual Studio Wix Setup Projects':
I have created the exe file from jar and used this exe to create the installer using Inno setup. However when I install the system tray icon is not changing to custom icon I am proving in the .iss script. With Inno Setup the application icon which is displayed in Start > Program Files is picked up correctly but not the system tray icon.
I used the resource hacker to verify that the exe file has the image which needs to be displayed in the system tray. When Installing I do get prompted to select the desktop icon and quicklaunch icon. Desktop icon is picked correctly but not the quicklaunch icon.
Could some one suggest how to customize the system tray icon (quicklaunchicon).
#JerryDodge Thank you for the clues. The jar itself had the icon file which needed to be replaced. After replacing it, everything worked.

If you rightclick your installation project in VS2010 under the option "View" you can select the user interface. A new tab wil open with al the UI windows on it, you can change the text there.
