Bugzilla Bug 49406

The app-editors/jedit ebuild (version 4.1) doesn't contain the file
/usr/share/applications/jedit.desktop which means that the jEdit application
doesn't show up in the Gnome menu.

I will attach a file that I use (English only). This file could(/should?) be
added to the jEdit ebuild.

From there, other jEdit users may provide national translations to complement
the file.

Just wanted to get the ball rolling... ;-)

A simpe (English only) Gnome menu definition file.

not gnome

I've added this feature now. jedit.desktop will be installed if kde or gnome is
set in USE. Thanks for the file.

you also might want to add a MimeType directive for gnome : text/plain
text/x-java  .
Also maybe add Utility & TextEditor to Categories.

Improved .desktop file for jedit

Did the things foser said: Added categories and mime-types. The mimetypes were
taken from gvim.desktop, so they should be nearly complete.

It also improves the ebuild to use the .desktop-file and update the
fdo-mime-database after installing jEdit. So to say:

inherit fdo-mime

src_compile() {
-       make_desktop_entry jedit "jEdit" jedit
+       domenu ${FILESDIR}/jedit.desktop
}

 pkg_postinst() {
+       fdo-mime_desktop_database_update
+       fdo-mime_mime_database_update
+
 }

 pkg_postrm() {
+       fdo-mime_desktop_database_update
+       fdo-mime_mime_database_update
}

Sorry, next time i'll provide a patch ;)
