Like creating a connection in the menu in order to execute an application.

This tip is particularly interesting for who wishes to try the last innovationes as regards applications not still pacchettizzate and wants to create a connection in the menu “Applications” to the eseguibile of the installed program. The example that I have reproduced is that one of a connection to the IDE of development Netbeans 6,0 of which they are occupied to me in post a precedence. It is made thus:

• from root creating with editor rows netbeans.desktop on /usr/share/applications (gedit /usr/share/applications/netbeans.desktop);
• to insert quese inside lines of the rows:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Netbeans 6.0
Comment=IDE
Exec=/usr/local/netbeans-6.0/bin/netbeans
Icon=/usr/local/netbeans-6.0/nb6.0/netbeans.png
Type=Application
Categories=Application; Development;

• to save, in the menu Applications will come addition the voice Programmazione->Netbeans 6.0
