Create shortcut for "MyEclipse"

Question

I use Ubuntu 14.04. I installed Myeclipse 2015 and it work normal, but every time I launch it, I need to go to terminal and launch th einstallation file.

I installed Myeclipse in /opt/MyEclipse.

I tried to create it like Eclipse, but it doesn't work: How to pin Eclipse to the Unity launcher?

How to create the shortcut?

That looks good. Is /opt/eclipse/myeclipse executable (ls -l /opt/eclipse/myeclipse)? — A.B., Mar 24 '15 at 19:56

Based on your comments, I have a short answer.

The command to start MyEclipse in a terminal is

/opt/MyEclipse/myeclipse

or in your desktop file

Exec=/opt/MyEclipse/myeclipse

The complete desktop file

Open or create the desktop file

nano ~/.local/share/applications/opt_eclipse.desktop

and add the lines below

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=MyEclipse 
Comment=MyEclipse Integrated Development Environment 
Icon=/opt/MyEclipse/icon.xpm
Exec=/opt/MyEclipse/myeclipse
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;     
StartupWMClass=MyEclipse
