    Has anyone had any trouble creating launchers in ubuntu 9.04?

    I'm trying to create a launcher for an application located in /home/username/JSMS/JSMS.sh

    If I navigate to the folder and run the script file ( ./JSMS.sh or sh JSMS.sh) it works fine. But if i try and do it using the full path in the terminal/ the run gui thing (alt+F2) or using a launcher it doesnt work.


    Anyone have any ideas cus I'm stumped?

    Ah yes, I had this problem a while ago but got it workin thuswise:
    sudo gedit /home/username/JSMS/JSMS.sh

    then add in the line
    cd /home/username/JSMS
    before the java line, and save, then your launcher should work.

    The launcher needs to go to the right directory before running the right thing. ;)
