Linux creating a (shortcut) link on the desktop
Submitted by cannon on Thursday, 5 August, 2004 - 21:11
Hello,

I tried, and so far 'am failing to create a link on the desktop to jedit on my linux box.
My bash script runs fine from the console (only):

#!/bin/sh
#
javaw -Xquickstart -Xms10mg -jar /usr/share/jedit/4.1/jedit.jar
# EOF.

Regarding jedit it self, on linux and with the IBM compiler it runs without much fuss, and almost like a native application - hint renicing it does wonders.
The file browser needs further work on, it is not responsive to double clicks as one would expect (right click/Open is better than double clicking).
This is probably to do with how nodes are linked and the file system being accessed in linux.

My linux installation is mandrake 10, java/jedit have to be installed/twigged manually.


At home only recently I converted to linux; so any help with this would be great.

Regards,
Cannon
