  The error message says that launcher.properties is missing. This file should be in the piggydb-standalone dicretory. Did you copy piggydb-standalone.jar to the directory '/home/m'?

  I did something wrong because I answer here yesterday to your question.

  No, I don't copy jar file out. I just download piggydb-standalone.zip, run “extract here” and double-click over piggydb-standalone.jar, getting the message you know in piggydb.log. Same thing anywhere is placed the folder.

  The application only run correctly from terminal changing to its directory or if I put all the content folder in /home/m/. But this way I don't think is very clean.

  I turn to Ubuntu from Windows one month or so ago and I expected piggydb worked in the same way as it did in Windows XP, starting application from menu (gnome-shell without animations).

  Because I thought the problem was system path I try everything I found with web browser, changing .profile, creating a .bash_profile file or proving with export classpath. No success.

  Thanks for your help

  Thank you for the detailed info.

  The standalone package looks for launcher.properties from the current working directory. That's why it works when you launch piggydb via command line. I think the reason that double-click doesn't work is some path problem as you pointed out.

  It is a platform-dependent issue, so I don't have much knowledge about it. A workaround would be to copy only the launcher.properties file to /home/m.

  I didn't make anything wrong. The question was that lighthouseapp administrators take me for a spammer and comments or emails disappear. They say me I've marked now as trust.

  The workaround you propose don't work, because the error is now:
  

  java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/m/webapp
  

  I just learned that linux scripts and batch files DOS/Wndows can have similar functions. So, I did a simple script piggydb.sh
  

  #!/bin/sh
  cd ~/bin/piggydb-standalone
  java -jar piggydb-standalone.jar
  

  make it executable and run from Applications Menu gnome-shell.

  I was tired after browser dozens of pages with apparently similar java problems to execute jar files in Ubuntu, but not exactly this one, where every one gave a different solution, and no one fix the error. I need learn more about Linux and that imply time.

  Thanks for your time
