I want to make a script that will execute .jar file on selected file. Later I will add that script to right-click menu via the tool Nautilus Actions or just place it into nautilus-scripts folder. I have a problem creating script.
When I am in a usual console screen and want to execute this jar file on any other file, I use this syntax
myfile.jar ./someotherfile.xml
and the jar file will write the output to the console screen.
So I created a file script.sh, added lines in it
#!/bin/bash
/home/username/myfile.jar $1
But it does not output anything. I know I am doing something wrong. Please help.
To sum, I need a script that will use selected file as a parameter, open the gnome-terminal, inside that terminal it will start JAR file and pass it the selected file.
I am confident that this is a very simple procedure, but I am total newbie with shell scripting.

You might also go for
in order to first open gnome terminal and then execute your java application in it. This way you would be able to get output printed out to the terminal.
