> When installing JBDS, you are given the option of creating a "Start Menu" entry for it.
> On Linux at least, if you uncheck that box and press Next it runs a script (/tmp/jdbs-desktop-chmod-$RANDOM.sh) which executes "find $HOME -name JBoss-Developer-Studio-5.0.0.M4*.desktop". My desktop has appromiately 1.6 million files under $HOME, and that step thrashes my disk for 10 minutes.
> I'm not sure why it is trying to find the desktop file since I chose not to create one. In addition, searching my entire home directory for it is not a good idea since it could take a very long time.
> Is there a reason it is looking for a .desktop file when I told it not to create one? It should already know where it is if it created one, and there is unlikely to be one if it didn't.
