Create .desktop demo

In the future, you will right-click to access this app

Now, to make this appear when right-clicking. Any idea how I can achieve that?

    Btw:

    # convince Java-Apps to use desktop theme and nice font rendering
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="$_JAVA_OPTIONS \
	-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on \
	-Dswing.aatext=true \
	-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel \
	-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel"

    That's neat

    Right clicking where exactly? If you mean the desktop, then I imagine you'll likely need a GNOME Shell or Nautilus extension

      An application and programs that use shell as their application, for example, IntelliJ IDEA use 'idea.sh' to run the IDE, so it would be useful for people to right-click and just create the '.desktop' file right away.

        Yes, but on what environment are you going going to right click in? The desktop? The file manager?
        That's what I'm asking

          File managers, because that's where the applications are. As for desktop, I will give the option for that one or more users who do that.
