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.

The applications launchers Gnome knows about are .desktop files in /usr/share/applications, and ~/.local/share/applications. You can create custom launchers for whatever is in your home folder, by either manually creating and editing a custom .desktop file, or by using Alacarte, the old Gnome menu editor.
The Gnome desktop file documentation can be of help: https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en
The custom launcher is just a text file, named, for example, EclipseEE.desktop, with the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse EE
Exec=/home/mrPeterson/path_to_executable
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application

I know this thread is kinda old, but I wanted to share with you guys this bash function I just made because... because I can.
If you find it useful, feel free to use it!
Warning: I just made it. It might not be perfect.
new-gnome-launcher-app() sudo tee -a "$gnome_panel_entry_path" > /dev/null
echo "Encoding=UTF-8"
