Re: [CentOS] Starting a java applet from the desktop

CentOS-5.4 i86_64

I have a calculator applet on my desktop (superbcalc.jar). When I double click on it I get no response. If I right click and select open with java I get no response. If I open a terminal window and cd to Desktop and type java -jar superbcalc.jar then the applet opens.

Does anyone have any idea why I am seeing this behaviour? There are no messages in the syslog file relating to this.

Sure - there's something wrong with the link. You need to find out what the icon is pointing to. In kde, at least, I can right-click, and select properties.
