Hi John, Try giving the full path the the executable 'java', it will probably be something like '/bin/java' - you can find out by running 'which java'
Hope this helps, Bodsda Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: ** <johnbrid...@yahoo.com> Sender: ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 07:34:21 To: <ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com> Reply-To: UK Ubuntu Talk <ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com> Subject: [ubuntu-uk] Menu item Hi All, I have a main menu item which is supposed to launch a java based application. It is in the format: java -jar /location/of/java/app.jar When I try to launch the application from the menu nothing happens but when I copy the same command into a terminal window, it launches perfectly. Any ideas anyone?
