Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
Certain Java archive applications (applications ending with .jar) will not dock correctly when a launcher is created (when a .desktop entry is created and added to the launcher, pressing the .desktop entry will add another icon to the launcher instead of the same original icon recognize by it self the running application). There are only two examples that I know, one of them is some kind of Portuguese dictionary-speller called Lince and the other one is Minecraft which is more likely to be known by some. Here is my .desktop entry for my Lince application (the Minecraft one should be similar) [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=java -jar /usr/local/Lince/Lince.jar Name=Lince Icon=/usr/local/Lince/icone_lince_32.png jose@JARR-Laptop:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 jose@JARR-Laptop:~$ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installed: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781442 Title: Certain Java applications won't be docked correctly in the Unity Launcher -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
