I have a Java app, "Breakage" a drum sequencer. To start it in Konsole, first I have to cd to Breakage-22b, which is the folder in /home/user containing the .jar file for the drum sequencer. So the procedure is. $ cd Breakage-22b Breakage-22b $ /usr/local/java/bin/java -jar Breakage2.jar This starts the java app ok, but is there a way to run this from a link to application on the desktop? It appears that cd'ing to the directory containing the .jar file is necessary before running the command /usr/local/java/bin/java -jar Breakage2.jar Nigel. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
