I recently installed oracle jdeveloper 11g in my home directory on Ubuntu Linux
(the installer was a .jar file)
and the installer puts the files in ~/Oracle/Middleware/...
since it creates no icons on my desktop my question is that were is the start file to start the jdeveloper program?? (where should I look for the launcher file?)
MW_HOME/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev
More details about the installation on Unix here.
