Custom Ubuntu launcher doesn't launch

Question

I use Ubuntu 11.04 and Gnome 2.32.1.

I want to create a new launcher for Sql Developer on the desktop with the following value:

Name : SqlDeveloper
Command : /bin/sh /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
Icon : A icon in the directory of sql developer

When I click or double-click on the launcher nothing happen.

$ ls -l /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh -rwxr-xr-x /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

What should I do?

I think you'll need to add Terminal=true

It wasn't this answer but its help me to find the problem. The problem was that the file ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk was empty. I dont know why but its worked when i launch from a terminal, probably the environement vars. Thanks you – La Chamelle Feb 10 '12 at 13:14

Please make sure you use full path inside script executed by launcher. That is: in sqldeveloper.sh replace ~ with path to home dir.
