how to manually create a launcher for unity for ubuntu 12.04 ?

[faiberts]

hello friends

I have a problem is not that I create a launcher in unity in order to start SpringSource Tool Suite in ubuntu

I'm not sure if you can do like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wanted the shortcut to call my new eclipse I had installed under /opt. Here is how to:

$ gedit ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
And enter the following in the file:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Name=Eclipse Indigo 3.7
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /opt/eclipse/eclipse
-------------------------------------------------------------

if anyone knows how to fix it would appreciate

Thanks

Since no-one else is responding... I'll give it a try.
I'm still on Ubuntu 10.04 and I don't use the Unity interface myself. (I like the old gnome 2 interface too much to switchjust yet :-)
So I can't really provide help from first-hand knowledge.

But I did find this link which I think is explaining how to create a 'launcher' for a specific command in Unity.

I hope that helps.
