Easiest thing is to just create a shortcut that calls the jar
properly. The procedure depends on the desktop, but for the most part
it's just a rightclick on the desktop, then on the "link" field you'd
put in your command and the path to the jar. I keep all my jar files
in ~/bin/java/jar and my shortcut does:
java -jar ~/bin/java/jar/myapp.jar
