Configuring the Desktop Menu
Installing Programs
Do the following to install a program into the desktop menu:
1 Copy all the necessary program files to the server.
2 Copy your program's menu files to the desktop menu directory SYS:/
JAVA/LIB/TASKBAR.
If this directory does not exist, you need to create it. For an example of
the file format for a menu file, see SYS:/JAVA/LIB/
TASKBAR.EXAMPLE.
If your menu file uses a resource bundle for internationalization of the
menu strings, copy the resource bundle to the desktop menu directory
SYS:/JAVA/LIB/TASKBAR.
After you install your program, the next time you click the Novell button in
the NetWare GUI, your menu items will appear. You can then start your
program by selecting the appropriate menu item.
Modifying the Menu
You construct the desktop menu by merging any installed menu files and the
custom menu file with the default desktop menu. You can modify the desktop
menu by editing the custom menu file or any of the installed menu files.
To add items to the desktop menu, create a customized.MENU file and copy
it to the SYS:\JAVA\LIB\TASKBAR directory. For an example menu file, see
SYS:\JAVA\LIB\TASKBAR.EXAMPLE.
