sorry for re opening this but I'm not being able to make this work.
I tried creating the following file:
/usr/share/applications/SQLDev.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[en_US]=SQLDev42
Comment=SQLDev42
Exec=/home/user1/bin/sqldeveloper
GenericName[en_US]=SQLDev42
GenericName=SQLDev42
Icon=/home/user1/progs/sqldeveloper/sql.png
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=SQLDev42
Name=SQLDev42
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
The icon appears on my desktop and in the dash. But as soon as the programs starts, the icon changes to '?' in the dash. What can I do to prevent this change?
sqldeveloper is a symb link
user1@host1:~$ cat /home/user1/bin/sqldeveloper
export JAVA_HOME="/home/user1/progs/jdk1.8.0_102"
unset -v GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
cd /home/user1/progs/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
./sqldeveloper "$@"
sudo update-desktop-database
If I check the WM_Class
user1@host1:~$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer", ""
Is it because I'm using oracle jdk?
