JWS desktop icon not showing up on linux
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:26 pm
I have modified the oxygen.jnlp to include:
<information>
...
<offline-allowed/>
<icon href="OxygenJWS128.png" kind="splash"/>
<icon href="OxygenJWS128.png" kind="default"/>
<shortcut online="false">
<desktop/>
<menu submenu="oXygen">
<menu submenu="oXygen Editor"/>
</menu>
</shortcut>
</information>
I have confirmed that in deployer.jar APPLICATION.JNLP also contains the above entry. On windows and on mac machines, I get prompted for creation of a desktop icon and one appears on the desktop as expected.
However if I launch the install on linux (ubuntu, kubuntu, and mint) I do not get a prompt and no desktop icon is created. I tried making sure that I am using the java sun JDK, I also changed the title to a shorter title, but none of it seems to work.
Has anyone encountered this issue on Linux? This is quite problematic for Linux users if the are not familiar with JWS. Once they close out of the client, they have no way of knowing where oXygen is installed and how to launch it again.
Any direction would be very helpful, thanks.
