Thanks for the instructions. Maybe I am not been clear on what I am trying to do.
Basically I can start a minecraft server my opening a terminal the cd ing to the correct directory, then run:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
My kids use this to play minecraft together using our two computers at home. However they never seem to be able to get it running when I am not home, so I would like to make a menu item that they could just click on to start the server.
I have been looking at making a file in /usr/share/applications (since the "Main menu" doesn't seem to have an option for the working directory).
I will keep looking and let you know if I get something that works.
