Intellij launcher doesn't work on unity?

Question

Under /usr/share/applications I created:

intellij.desktop:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=/path/To/idea.sh" Name[en_US]=Intellij Name=Intellij Icon=/path/to/intellij.png 

Then I drag it to the Unity launcher bar. I click it, but nothing happens. How can I make it work?

JAVA_HOME is set correctly, other Java apps (like Eclipse) work and click idea.sh.

My configuration:

• Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit (Desktop)
• Oracle JDK 1.7
• IntelliJ Community 12

Answer 1

You can use "tools" > "create desktop entry", in IntelliJ itself.
