1. Create a file named "Eclipse.desktop" in/usr/share/applications
The specific command is: Gedit eclipse.desktop
and add the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=utf-8
Name=eclipse Platfrom
Comment=eclipse IDE
Exec=/home/lgh/desktop/eclipse/eclipse
icon=/home/lgh/desktop/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Startupnotify=true
Type=application
Categories=application;development;
Attention:
Exec=/home/lgh/desktop/eclipse/eclipse
icon=/home/lgh/desktop/eclipse/icon.xpm
This place to be modified for your installation directory, I downloaded the eclipse extracted files placed on the/home/lgh/desktop so here's the path for this;
2. Then change the permissions of the file;
Sudo chmod u+x eclipse.desktop command
3. Copy the file eclipse.desktop you just created to the desktop and complete the Eclipse's Quick Start button
