Does the following method seem proper enough (or alternatively, fundamentally flawed) as the way to get back the right-click ability for opening with Java?
After some sort of hang and crash of Minecraft, a desktop icon I had configured to open with a double-click no longer worked. Right-clicking only showed "open with archive manager" and "open with archive mounter" as options.
From software center, I removed, then re-added Java. That didn't help.
"allow to run as executable" is selected in properties
I followed the instructions in 114990 but changed Java 6's to Java 7's and launcher to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java (the latter b/c that seemed to be correct after poking around with cd and ls). So I now have this:
cat "OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime"
[Desktop Entry]
Name=OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime
Comment=OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime
Exec=cautious-launcher %f /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java -jar
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=openjdk-7
MimeType=application/x-java-archive;application/java-archive;application/x-jar;
NoDisplay=true
I rebooted but still nothing came up for right-click or other other places to set "open-with" .
224463 does NOT say what to do if the openjdk-7-java..desktop file does NOT exist and so leaves those of us without it sort of hanging.
So I gambled and renamed "OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime" (from 114990) to "openjdk-7-java.desktop" (from 224463) and rebooted and magically my Desktop Minecraft icon was already back to being set to "Open with OpenJDK 7 Runtime"
So I'm happy enough for now until I learn otherwise, but I'm curious if this seems proper enough.
