Hi,
I feel kinda stupid to ask this, but I just can't manage to launch .jar files (JDownloader) from the xfce menu and awn.
running "java -jar ..../JDownloader.jar" works of course, but using "Exec=java -jar ..../JDownloader.jar" in the .desktop file doesnt.
Starting AWN from the xfce menu and clicking the jdownloader launcher doesnt work, nothing happens
Starting AWN from a Terminal and watching the output...JDownloader starts up fine, so I could use "avant-window-navigator > /dev/null &" every time...
can anyone explain what's happening?
Bye
*edit*
using "/opt/java/jre/bin/java -jar /home/toor/.jd/JDownloader.jar" worked for the xfce menu, but awn still won't launch jdownloader

Hello DIDI2002!
Did you try it with other WM ? What's the error output exactly on the stderr ?

My other system running arch+gnome+awn works like a charm, so i guess it's xfce related.
when awn is started from the xfce menu, /opt/java/jre/bin/ is not in the PATH so it doesnt find java... this is not the case in gnome.
Anyway thanks for your help, I was right feeling stupid about this

/opt/java/jre/bin/ is not in the PATH so it doesnt find java..
Can you check it on the console with echo $PATH ? If it would be in it , you can add it with export PATH=$PATH:/opt/java/jre/bin/, but it's not sure this is the problem with it.
