Thanks for the helpful quick access template!
ReplyDeleteThanks man, this worked perfect! in Linux Solus.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Swift solution.
ReplyDeleteMine is not working. Can't find the execution field
ReplyDeleteLooks like as of STS4 they now use SpringToolSuite4 as the exec instead of STS
DeleteFor STS4, change this line:
DeleteExec=/folder_unzipped_into/sts-{version}-RELEASE/SpringToolSuite4
I use Ubuntu 18.04 and Ihave two very basic questions:
ReplyDelete- what is Quick Menu?
- do I have to restart my machine to have all this working?
not needed
DeleteSmall additional update for Ubuntu 18.04 & STS 4+ use Absolute path instead of relative.
ReplyDeleteuse
Exec=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS
Icon=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm
dont'use
Exec=~somedir/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS
Icon=~somedir/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm
I am sorry, where is this "Quick Menu " to check if the installation was successful, do you mean the command line
