    How to add icon for existing java application?

    For example have "Jfig" installed BEFORE jdistro, how do I add an icon to the desktop to start Jfig from jDistro?

      Hi,
      You must create an entity to represent JFig. For that, you can:

      1) open the Menu/Create an entity and fill the form (if you know all the info.

      2) Or you can do Menu/Install an entity. Choose Local Installation. Choose URL. Click on the button just on the left to open a FileChooser. Select a type (Directory,  JAR archive, ...) and select the corresponding file. JDistro will try to find all the resources needed and set the main class. You may need to edit the info after.

      But the easiest way is really to use JNLP, JAR or KEI files. In the case of JFig, select local installation and simply copy/past the URL:
      http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/jfig/archive/jfig2.jar
      into the URL field.

      Regards, Guillaume
