Some applications like PostMan, SpringToolSuite etc. which has to be downloaded in tar.gz, .zip files from official websites would give a hard time in setting up applets for quick access on the Linux Mint panel.
So after cracking my head for 3 to 4 hours. I was able to create applet for faster access using this method.
I have found this problem for most of the applications that I downloaded from tar.gz and zip file Linux Mint doesn't automatically create an applet that can be used for quick access.
But on the contrary, deb files that are executable on double-click can automatically create applet for quick access as it compiles with help of package installer.
So the solution that I followed is:
Extract the compressed package which generates a folder.
Right click and choose the option Create a new launcher here...
Select the name and select the main executable provided in the
generated folder.
This would create a rocket icon launcher(as of Linux Mint 17.1)
Right Click that icon and open in text-editor add this line
Icon=/icon-location..
Click on Menu type the rocket icon launcher Name that you given in
step 3
Right click on the result that has rocket icon launcher, add to
panel
That's it!!

1) created simple hello world eclipse app.
2) product configuration created.
3)In overview tab of product Configuration clicked on "Eclipse Product Export Wizard"
4)Destination chosen as Archive file and stored in local system.
5)extracted the zip folder and if i click on icon it is successfully showing the exported result.
6)But if I copy the zip folder in mac and if i extract and try to click on the .exe it is not showing the proper result instead it was showing Archive window.
I would like to know what steps should follow so that exported Eclipse RCP application(which built on windows) works in mac.
quicker response would help me to fix my issue.thanks in advance.
RCP builds are specific to a single operating system (Mac, Linux, Windows), GUI system (Cocoa, GTK, Windows) and architecture (64 bit, 32 bit). You will have to build separate Mac and Windows builds.
To build for multiple platforms you have to set up a target platform which includes the Mac specific code (and any other platforms you want). Using a target platform based on one of the Eclipse software sites will give you this.
Once you have done this the Export wizard will let you export for multiple platforms and lets you choose which platforms to export for.
I have done below steps to solve this issue
1)window+preference+TargetPlatform+select running platform +click on Edit.
2)then popup will open + click on add +click on istallation/software site+provide delta pack path.
3)so that when ever we trying to export RCP product from "Export product configuration" in product file we can observer the multiple platforms oprion in that dialog box.
I need some help with NetBeans and a JavaFX project
When I try to install an icon in the title bar of a Windows 7
Desktop application it will not show up
Here are the steps I have used to create and EXE file
Main Class adds the icon with this line of code that works in Eclipse
pStage.getIcons().add(new Image(“file:src/Photos/C.ico”));
Inno Setup 5.0 installed and in Path
the icon is 32 by 32 and 32 bit depth it was created with GreenFish Icon maker
the icon is under Source Package in a folder named Photos
right click project select Properties select Deployment
check Enable Native Packaging
set the path to the icon for Native Package Icons
src/Photos/C.ico
Run Clean and Build
Run Package As EXE
The only other concern I have is this output message
No base JDK Package will use system JRE
I see this as a separate issue so as a bonus question
can I ask for help with how to include the JDK or JRE
so this application is independent of what JRE if any
is installed on the end user machine.
A side note during development if I use C.bmp
in place of the ico file the title bar will display
the bmp. The bmp file will not work at build time.
#James_Duh I have no idea why this works and I doubt you find this FIX anywhere else as I searched the net for why you need to use a bmp and ico file
Here is what I did with NetBeans 8.0.? and JDK1.8.0_51 on Windows 7
in the Main.class I used this line of code
Image ico = new Image("Photos/C.bmp"); NetBeans
Image ico = new Image("file:Photos/C.bmp"); Eclipse
Then in the Photos folder I placed an icon named C.ico 32 by 32
this icon is used to populate the installer EXE file
which when you run the EXE file the icon will be displayed
in the Start Menu
I also checked Desktop Icon and Start Menu shortcut under
Deployment in NetBeans Deployment screen
The Native Package deployment process in Eclipse is a real real PAIN
In the future I will make the switch to NetBeans IDE for this reason alone
I'm trying to get SceneBuilder to work with Eclipse v4.4.2 on Mac OS X. I'm following the advice from this tutorial: http://code.makery.ch/library/javafx-8-tutorial/part1/. I downloaded the Mac OS .dmg version of the SceneBuilder app from here: http://gluonhq.com/products/downloads/. It works when I run it as a stand alone.
When I try to configure Eclipse to use the app as part of the e(fx)eclipse package, Eclipse seems to be configured to look for the file Contents/MacOs/scenebuilder-launcher.sh in the application package contents. The version of the app I have doesn't have it, instead it just has the executable Contents/MacOs/SceneBuilder.
Failure to launch SceneBuilder [...] Cannot run program "/Applications/SceneBuilder.app/Contents/MacOs/scenebuilder-launcher.sh". No such file or directory.
Does anyone know which version of SceneBuilder I should be using (and where I can get it), or is there a hacky solution to sort this?
Just playing around with the SceneBuilder standalone it seems like it's a big step up from WindowBuilder, shame that just finding a packaged/compiled version of it has been so difficult!
The answer provided by ItachiUchiha is not the full solution with the new binaries provided by Gluon. Obviously they have forgotten to package the file Contents/MacOs/scenebuilder-launcher.sh with the new binaries. It is however sufficient to just copy over this file from an old version of SceneBuilder to make the launch from within Eclipse work.
Hi guys my solution is not clean by the way I use:
On OSX :
$cd /Applications/SceneBuilder.app/Contents/MacOS/
$ln -s SceneBuilder scenebuilder-launcher.sh
And for that works.
On a Mac:
I just installed sceneBuilder 8.3.
After setting up Eclipse with the proper SceneBuilder executable (in the Applications folder)
I had the same problem.
Failure to launch SceneBuilder [...] Cannot run program "/Applications/SceneBuilder.app/Contents/MacOs/scenebuilder-launcher.sh". No such file or directory.Error=2
Then in Eclipse I went to the
Help Menu, Check for Updates and Installed
all of the latest updates offered.
When I was asked if OK to Re-Start Eclipse I clicked OK.
After Eclipse restart
I Right Clicked on a Main.fxml and selected
Open with SceneBuilder.
It worked perfectly.
Best of Luck to you all
You can change the path in
Eclipse -> Preference -> JavaFX -> SceneBuilder Executable
I had this same issue on my mac following the code.makery tutorial but discovered you can still use the official JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 download from oracle.com available at JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0.
After downloading and installing (by double-clicking on the downloaded .dmg file and dragging to the application folder), simply navigate to Eclipse>preferences>JavaFX and then browse to your Applications folder and select the JavaFX Scene Builder app you just installed. Worked and is still working for me!
I downloaded the older version of scene builder from oracle site. Copied the scenebuilder-launcher.sh from the fresh installation directory to the Glueon scenebuilder directory. And this fixed the issue.
My solution on Mac OSX was gleaned from the bug report at https://github.com/gluonhq/scenebuilder/issues/2. Apparently newer versions of Scene Builder (not including version 2 and before) are missing the scenebuilder-launcher.sh file. To make this all work, do the following.
Install a new version of Scene Builder from Gluon (not Oracle). I used https://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/. Install AND OPEN Scene Builder. For this to work, it is important to actually open Scene Builder before attempting to use it in Eclipse. If you don't, the first invocation under Eclipse will attempt to pop up a the normal OSX security message which, of course, it can't do because it is being invoked from a shell script. This only happens on first invocation, so the next time you won't have the problem. You get a message to the effect that the application is damaged. You will also get this message if you install a new version. Just invoke the Scene Builder application standalone before continuing to use it with Eclipse.
open a terminal session (sorry I don't know of another way to do this otherwise as you need to make the file you create executable)
cd /Applications/SceneBuilder.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo vi scenebuilder.sh (or use your favorite editor other than vi)
cut-and-paste the file from the Gluon issue into your editor and save it.
sudo chmod +x scenebuilder.sh
open Eclipse and open Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations (or type file in the filter box and select File Associations.
scroll down to .fxml in the file type box and select it. If you don't see it, click add to the right of the file types list. Enter .fxml and click OK.
in the associations pane, click Add to the right of the associations pane and click the Internal radio button. Scroll down to Scene Builder and select it. Click OK, the Apply and Close.
You should now be able to right-click on an .fxml file and click Open with Scene Builder and Scene Builder should start with the fxml file open in the builder.
I made a JavaFX application on Netbeans and I put this code for setting the icon to the window
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image("file:sicadcam.png"));
and when I run the project from Netbeans, it works ok: the icon appears on the top left corner of the window and in the taskbar. The image is in the root directory of the project.
When I clean and build the project, it generates two installers: one exe and one msi; and when I install the application and open it, the window doesn't have the icon sicadcam.png, it has the default java logo icon.
How or where can I set the path of the image so that when I install the application the icon appears.
This is only a partial answer to the question as I have been unable to generate a self-contained package which shows the icon for the installed application in the Windows taskbar. I may have missed a step, have an environmental issue or the icon configuration for self-contained applications may be slightly buggy and may be fixed in later releases. Testing was on: jdk7u21, NetBeans 7.3, Win7, InnoSetup.
Get the icon image from a resource rather than a file.
For example, if you place the image in the source directory of your application class:
new Image(MyApplication.class.getResource("sicadcam.png").toExternalForm());
For an installed application, this will only set the icon displayed in the top left corner of the screen. To set the icon for the taskbar, desktop etc, following the instructions in the Self-Contained Packaging section of the JavaFX Deployment Guide is supposed to get you there.
For example to get an icon for the installer on my Windows 7 for my self-contained application, I needed to place the icon in a <netbeansprojectdir>/package/windows/<myappname>.ico (needs to be a .ico for the installer packager to pick it up) file AND ensure my ant path was configured correctly as detailed in How to change JavaFx native Bundle exe icon (hopefully that manual ant configuration won't be required in later NetBeans/JavaFX releases).
Download the Ensemble sample application from Oracle and see how the package directory is laid out there for platform specific icons. Unfortunately when I tried building Ensemble from the command line, I was also unable to get Windows 7 to use the Ensemble icon in the taskbar when Ensemble was installed and executed as a self-contained application.
Ensure your build system copies your icon into the jar file containing your application. To check this, change into the app directory of your installed application and run jar tvf <yourappjar>.jar => it should show the location of the icon resource file in the jar.
you can it by using getClass().getResourceAsStream("path.png")
the getResourceAsStream("path") is return an input stram for path of any file you are need it for example for icon
win.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("path.png")));
and if you are makking an jar file is run with out Exception
I feel really stupid by asking this question, but how can I install Json Editor Plugin in my Eclipse Helios? I looked at the Forum in sourceforge, but I can't install it neither through .zip or by adding a web site. And will I need to change the execution environment to Java 1.6?
Here is what I did to get the Json Editor Plugin to show up in the Install Dialog.
By doing a little Google-ing, I found this page which describes the steps to install JsonEditorPlugin on 3.4.
After you have followed the first 6 steps, make sure that Group items by category is un-ticked. After that, you can then choose Json Editor Plugin to be installed from the local Zip archive that you have downloaded from the net.
Edit: as a side note, you must not have the unzipped contents of the zip archive in the dropins/ folder, otherwise it will appear as if the plugin is already installed.
Simply dropping the zip contents into the dropins folder however did work also.
Note: You must right click your .json file and choose 'Open with' -> 'Json Editor'
You can install plugins by just unzipping them into the dropins folder.
It does not matter if the zip file contains the parent folders "plugins" and/or "eclipse".
I would recommend Java 1.6 as it brings a better performance and the plugin might require Java 1.6. On your desktop shortcut you use following execution arguments:
eclipse -vm <path to jre 1.6 installation folder>\bin\javaw
Download jsonedit-repository-0.9.7.zip (or whatever) and put it in a folder you like.
In Eclipse Help --> Install New Software
Add --> Archive button and select the zip file.
Name it and press OK
Press button Next and Follow master of installation.
Then after opening json file possibly needed right click mouse on the file --> open with --> JSON editor
