The current installer (1.0.280) works fine for me on Centos 7, creating working
jconsole and jhs icons.
Thanks,

I have just pushed a new version of installer.ijs. If it can't determine
the terminal, it jams in gnome-terminal. This is right for you and probably
most people. Undoubtedly it won't work for someone.
Please have another try and let me know how it goes.

Using gnome-terminal is the right solution for your installation. For a
mint install it is mate-terminal. And for others it is whatever the user
has as their default terminal.
Thanks for checking for the LF as that had also puzzled me.
Older centos versions would have a result of gnome-terminal and that would
work. Newer versions of centos (and others) have the gnome-terminal-server
result that is misleading.
I'll have another stab at this tomorrow.

The two methods I have had work for me are these:
1. Use gnome-terminal:
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/
bin/jconsole\""
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole\"
~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.cfg"
2. use a leading shebang on the icon (from Patrick)
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
and use these changes also:
Terminal=true
Exec=/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole

Thanks for the feedback. The variety in linux installs continues to amaze
and puzzle me.
The problem is to determine the right command to start a terminal
session.
Please try the following for me:
start jconsole
load'~addons/ide/jhs/installer.ijs'
get_terminal_jinstaller_''
Thanks.
I've had a quick look at gnome-terminal-server and have a good idea of
where I went wrong, But haven't a clue about what to do instead.

Eric,
I tried executing
load '~addons/ide/jhs/installer.ijs'
shortcut'jc'
and this Icon was created:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=jc806
Exec=/usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server
-e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole\""
Path=/home/me
Icon=/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/icons/jgray.png
I Joined the -e line to the Exec line and the display of the icon
improved, but double-clicking the icon had no apparent result on Centos
7.

David, Patrick;
I have just released a new JHS with an improved version of
installer.ijs.
With luck this will do a better job of creating icons that work in a
wider
range of linux environments (particularly in the ones where problems
were
reported).

I installed J64-806 on Centos 7, activated AVX and ran the jhs
installer
script.
The installer script created 3 icons, jc806, jhs806 and jqt806.
jqt806
worked fine. Both jc806 and jhs806 failed with "There was an error
launching the application."
The commands in the icons were as follows:
jc806: x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/
bin/jconsole\""
jhs806: x-terminal-emulator -e "\"/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/
bin/jconsole\"
~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.cfg"
I tried the same commands in a terminal window and was told that
x-terminal-emulator was not found.
I did some research and found that x-terminal-emulator does not exist
for
Centos 7 and that the simplest fix was to replace x-terminal-emulator
in
the command strings with gnome-terminal, as I have Gnome installed.
The updated commands now worked but generated the following message
for
jconsole and jhs:
/home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin/jconsole: /lib64/libtinfo.so.5: no
version
information available (required by /home/me/Downloads/j64-806/bin
/jconsole)
This message did not stop jconsole from running.
jhs also had this message:
sh: x-www-browser: command not found
A bit more research found that this could be fixed in
ide/jhs/core.jhs by
replacing:
case. 'Linux' do. 2!:0'x-www-browser ',url,' >/dev/null &'
with
case. 'Linux' do. 2!:0'xdg-open ',url,' >/dev/null &'
A different general fix for the URL open might be to parse the result
of
this command:
$ cat /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | grep http
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
and plug in firefox, for example.
