Looking for a utility that allows me insert an item into the list of applications that GNOME knows about.



For example:

I have downloaded Eclipse EE (I have some very special plugins that I need to work with, and those plugins don't "like" the version available in the default repository). I'm using GNOME 3, on Ubuntu 11.10. So I want to execute Eclipse w/o opening a terminal and running it.



It must be something very simple.

You can use Main Menu for this. If not, install it first:



sudo apt-get install alacarte


1. Open Main Menu



2. See the example



Main Menu



After that you can call your applications with name: "command_of_application".



Edit: I missed that you had asked for applications in your home directory. If so, command must be the full path of that application.
