Aptana Studio 3 doesn't have a launcher icon

When running Aptana Studio 3, the icon in the Unity launcher is a grey square with a question mark. The icon is present in the Dash.

AptanaStudio3.desktop:

    Used sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/ --create-new to create a launcher instead of manually creating one and that worked.

    You may need to install gnome-panel Install gnome-panel first:

    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

    If you want to install the minimum needed for the desktop-item-edit command, use this instead:

    sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install gnome-panel
