For CentOS 7, a custom menu items can be added via the Main-Menu application. Now I have upgraded to CentOS 8 this option is missing.
I have solved this issue by manually adding applications in /usr/share/applications/ directory. To add eclipse as a custom application add a new file /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop with the following contents in it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
GenericName=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers.
Exec=<path_to_eclipse>

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed on my machine. I also have installed GNOME 3. I then installed the IDE IntelliJ without issue. However I installed it to a custom location and now the only way to run it is through the terminal via "./idea.sh". I would like to create an application launcher so I can launch IntelliJ via the applications list in the GNOME 3 windows manager. How would I do such a thing via the terminal, not through a 3rd part utility. I would also prefer to have the correct icon for the launcher, not a generic one. Thank you for the help.
Run Intellij, then go to Tools > Create Desktop Entry.
create a file called intellij.desktop in the directory /usr/share/applications/
my file looks like this
[Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
Comment=Free Java, Groovy, Scala and Android applications development
Exec=/path/to/your/bin/idea.sh
Path=/path/to/your/bin
Terminal=false
Icon=intellij-idea-ce
Type=Application
Categories=Development;IDE
for more details check this website, http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
edit: mlissner (Thank you!) mentioned that intelliJ in particular implemented a feature to add that Icon/Launcher automatically. Just open IntelliJ IDE, go to Tools and click Create Desktop Entry...
On Ubuntu 20 (Focal Fossa), create a launcher with alacarte.
The generated .desktop file is automatically placed in ~/.local/share/applications.
Move it from there to /usr/share/applications/ if it is to be accessible to all the computer's users.
You can create launcher using following steps
step 1) Install gnome-panel
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
step 2) run gnome-desktop-item-edit
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications --create-new
step 3) fill the required values in widget
I was tring to install eclipse on ubuntu. What I did:
I unzipped the tar archive of eclipse.
I tried to start eclipse from the command line - like this - ./eclipse. It works.
But then I tried to create a desktop icon with:
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop --create-new.
In a new icon I showed the path to the eclipse executable which I could launch from the command line. But then eclipse does not start stating:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/home/artem/eclipse/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH
And also I get a message in the terminal (at some stage it appeared):
(gnome-desktop-item-edit:8998): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.DSV8LW': No such file or directory
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 x32 and eclipse Juno.
PS. PATH variable points at jdk/bin and JAVA_HOME - to the jdk folder
You can make launch "icon" by using symlink:
ln -s [TARGET DIRECTORY OR FILE] [SHORTCUT]
You can do it just with Graphic interface
Right click on eclipse. Choose "Make link". You will get a short cut in the folder. Copy the shortcut to the Desktop. Done :)
P.s:
By the way, if you don't like default icon of the shortcut. They look all the same and ugly. Just right click on the shortcut and click on the small icon on the left, then choose an image icon which you like (E.g: Eclipse icon).
