Description Per Cederberg 2003-03-09 08:53:56 UTC

When emerging eclipse-SDK it is not added to the Gnome applications 
menu. This can be fixed easily by adding an eclipse.desktop file to
the /usr/share/gnome/apps/Development directory. See the additional
information below for an example file.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
Comment=A Java Development Environment

Exec=eclipse
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false

BTW. I think this also applies to the eclipse-platform-bin ebuild.

Added, but I didnt increment the ebuild, so if you have this installed and want it automagically added, re-emerge

In gnome 2.10 there are 2 eclipse's... seems like it looks in /usr/share/applnk as well as /usr/share/gnome now.

Is there a standard place to put .desktop files yet? i couldn't find it, maybe someone knows
