I am sorry to announce that jCodeCollector project has been abandoned due to lack of time. There won't be new releases but you can download latest stable version from the current page.

If you are interested the source code can be downloaded from GitHub.

Thank you for all your support!

[Ubuntu] How to create a launcher for jCodeCollector

Linux version of jCodeCollector can be launched by typing the follow command in your shell:
java -jar /your/path/to/jcodecollector.jar -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
As you can imagine, that's not a practical solution: you would like to use a menu launcher instead of having to use the terminal each time!

Some users wrote me about creating a menu link for jCodeCollector so I publish this mini-tutorial =)

Ubuntu menu bar1. Right click on Ubuntu menu bar and select Edit Menus.








2. In the Menu Editor window select Programming menu from the left so click the New Item button. Complete the form as follow:
Creating the launcher...
Type: Application
Name: jCodeCollector
Command: The command shown before (use the full path!)
Comment: Java Snippet Manager
Icon: (click to download)






3. And here's the final result:

The launcher is ready for use!
