who mentioned favorites??

Let me repeat:

I download a Java app for instance. A single .jar. I put it into
/usr/local/bin/myapp.jar

I want to create a new program entry (so it shows in the list of
installed apps) that does java -jar /usr/local/bin/myapp.jar and with
a custom name and icon. How do I do that, from the GUI, without
dropping to the shell?.
