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... ;-) Gus Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge jedit 2. load gnome 3. search for jEdit in the Gnome menu Actual Results: jEdit does not show up in the Gnome menu. Expected Results: jEdit should show up in the Gnome menu.

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.
Created attachment 65642 [details] 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 ;)
