Is there any way to create a shorcut to a JAVA Aplication like Opera Mini?

Good question, I was wondering the same thing!

assuming you havent installed any other java apps, you need to create a shortcut file (e.g., opera.lnk) pointing to:

"\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s1_

and place it in your \windows\start menu\programs folder

the easiest way is to make a copy of an existing shortcut and then modify its properties to match the above.

attached the link file for you

OperaMini.zip (183 Bytes, 2801 views)

That doesn't work for me. The only Java app I have installed is the Opera Mini beta. When I select the shortcut you created I get an error stating "Could not find suite s1_". Any ideas? The other thing I'd like to try to do is set Opera Mini as the default browser, so email links would open in it. Anyone know how to do that?

shortcut worked for me. I just copied the PIE shortcut (using Resco Explorer), pasted, and edited the properties to the following:

\windows\jeodek.exe -run s1_

Shortcut shows up as the same icon as the Java app.

that should have worked. what do you have in your windows\appdb folder? there should be some .jar files in there with one of them being the opera mini jar. whatever the number is before the s is the number needed in your shortcut link.

as far as making mini the default browser, you could edit the registry handlers for http and https to point to the shortcut I referenced above, but I haven't tried that myself.

8notime at ppcgeeks.com posted a shortcut to put in the startmenu/programs folder.... opens the java opera browser right up....

Hey everyone, I'm also having the same problem at smeg... "Could not find suite s1_" I checked in my windows/appdb folder but I don't have any .jar files... my opera mini works and everything when I open java midlet then opera. Any help is much apprectiated. Thanks

Try changing the "1" at the end of the shortcut to a 0 or a 2, 3, etc. I had to go all the way up to 4 on mine and I didn't have any other java apps installed either.

i tried every number from 0-9 and still no luck. anybody else know what i can do? Thanks in advance!

i tried from 0-9 bu no luck... does anybody what else i can do? thanks in advance!

Ok I did some more research I found out what happened from ppcgeeks. It was because I was using total commander and the quotation at the beginning was getting cut off so I did it with resco explorer and I got it working.

Thanks, everyone. For those who are inexperienced like me: I just used Total Commander to copy PIE shortcut from windows, start menu, programs, to "\" directory then used TC properties to edit target to \windows\jeodek.exe -run s1_ per above, then renamed shortcut to Opera and copied the shortcut back into windows, start menu, programs. It works great and as mentioned above, even has the java icon.

Just to make sure about the format of the icon files:

28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_

the 28 corresponds to the number of characters after the # symbol, not including the space after the closing " and whatever follows after it.
The count and the # symbol must be included in order for it to count as a legitimate shortcut file.
