I just downloaded Eclipse IDE and Netbeans directly from the websites and installed then in my Ubuntu 12.04. I have some questions:

1 – How can I add their shortcuts in the Ubuntu’s sidebar?
2 – When I add shortcuts in desktop using the gnome-desktop-item-edit app, I can’t have super user permissions to manipulate then, the Netbeans IDE (that uses a script file to start) shows lots of erros telling that some files are read-only. How can I add sudo privileges in a launcher created with gnome-desktop-item-edit?

Sorry by my poor english.

    Well, after some days trying to find the better solution for my problem, I think that the better solution is first, Download Eclipse and/or NetBeans IDE from the Ubuntu Software Center and after:

    • For NetBeans:
      Use the IDE’s plugin’s manager to download the needed ones, and make (if you want) an IDE update process.
    • For Eclipse:
      After download, follow the steps of this link.

    After follow this, you can easely create favorite links to your “sidebar” if you use Gnome 3 as me, or make desktop shortcuts without needing sudo privileges, just using the gnome-desktop-item-edit tool or whatever you prefer.
