[GitHub] [netbeans] sombriks opened a new issue, #4776: create shortcut menu on linux
sombriks opened a new issue, #4776:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4776
### Description
since offered linux version is a zip file, would be good to add an option to install/uninstall laucher into user (gnome/kde/xfce/etc) menu.
to do so an option in tools menu would offer to install netbeans .desktop launcher under `~/.local/share/applications/` and then invoke `update-desktop-database` as seen [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/565807/143289)
### Use case/motivation
The lack of a desktop entry menu option puts netbeans as a second-class citizen on linux desktops

The DEB package is not containerized, also the Snap version is running in classic confinement (aka no containers).

Hello @neilcsmith-net !
indeed i took a look on community packages.
the key drawback (yet their advantage) is the container isolation, any setup made on external bash won't reflect on containerized IDE.
As soon as possible i'll propose a pull request so we can discuss it better

I've thought about this myself too - happy to help / look at this. One of the issues with the old installer was that the `.desktop` file had problems across machines that would be good to address.
What OS are you on? I would note there is also a Snap package, community provided DEB and AppImage, and a number of independent options like FlatPak you could look at.
