I’m using Opensuse 12.2 with KDE. I have Java installed -
java-1_7_0-openjdk but just can’t find it in the menu.
I want to use it with Hamsphere, but even though I can see in Yast that it’s installed, I can’t find the darned application. Where on earth is it?
(No, I don’t want to start it from a terminal)
I don’t use OpenJDK because I use Intellij Idea and It requires Oracle’s java so it can run, but I don’t believe that Java is added to menu. But you can create your own .desktop entry and add it to ~/.local/share/applications and It will be show in the menu, for instance image that you have a application that is a ‘some-app.jar’ you have just grabbed from internet you could create a desktop entry and change :
Exec=java -jar /path/to/my/some-app.jar
and the menu will be reload and that application will show up int the menu.
I hope helped somehow.
You do not want to use the terminal but you are going to use Ham Radio??? oxymoron
BTW, if you hit Alt-F2 and then type "java -jar /path/Hampster.jar
That may work
You have violated T&C https://forums.opensuse.org/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_novellgen
Is it a .jar file? If you want to be able to click and run a jar file do :
Profit!
Do you know what oxymoron means?
What??? Can you please explain what you mean?

saw the definition. But i wouldn’t want someone calling me idiotic-genius or something like that 
Anyway . i just pointed out the facts. Nothing more.Nothing less
You are completely off base and do not understand what I have written, I have not called anyone names. Why you do not PM me to find out first what is going on?
You have your facts wrong, period. What are you thinking, there is a clear definition of oxymoron that anyone can read. Read it from your recommended app artha, it says nothing about idiotic-genius.
Leave it to the admins. No one was called a name, and I think that’s clear to most people here.

But, IMHO, he is not doing that. He is, I think, pointing out that there
is a contradiction in what robertsmits asked. True, English is not my
first language, I could be mistaken, but… :-?

no on called any on a name!
oxymoron has nothing to do with a ‘moron’, instead “the word oxymoron
is used in cases where the contradiction is deliberate, its purpose
being to emphasize or heighten a contrast so as to make a point.”
<cite: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oxymoron>
the poster who used it was pointing out the apparent contradiction of
a ham radio enthusiast (well known to be willing to dig deeply into
the complexities of the internals of amateur radios, sometimes called
“short wave” for example) who is unwilling to just barely scratch the
surface of the complexities of Linux, and demands to not have to see
a command line.
THAT (the apparent contradiction of being willing to dive into one,
but refuse to dip a toe into the other) is an oxymoron.
(it was not that he is a “moron”, or “idiotic-genius”…far from it)
my (professional) opinion: no foul.
