I have a Java app that is deployed on several Unix systems. Until recently, starting it from the command line was no problem. A recent requirement is to deliver a desktop icon that will launch the app.
I have launched apps with icons before, but that was when I knew exactly which window manager where the app would be running. For this app, it could be any window manager.
Is there a way to deliver some kind of Java app that would reside on the desktop and would work for all window managers? I could use this new Java Icon app to launch my old program. Or, do I have to be able to "sense" which window manager the app is installed under, and deliver a "window manager" specific icon for each different window manager? This could require a lot of work.
Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
