a shortcut to run Eclipse on Ubuntu Unity and to register Eclipse with the left Launcher
In your terminal,
cd ~/.local/share/applications
wget https://gist.github.com/raw/2922285/eclipse.desktop
chmod u+x eclipse.desktop
vim eclipse.desktop
# edit eclipse.desktop to replace "<ECLIPSE_DIR>" with your eclipse directory
- In your terminal,
xdg-open ~/.local/share/applications
to open the directory with the file browser - Drag and drop the
eclipse.desktop
on Unity Launcher
This is great! I was struggling with the default installation because the respective button always opened a new button on the side bar of Ubuntu for every opened workspace and there was no way to know, which button belonged to which workspace. In this one you all active workspaces just in one button and select them by their names.
