    You can just start this from terminal by typing:

    java -jar pmTransALLOS.jar

    You can make afterwards a shortcut by nano ~/Desktop/pmTrans.desktop and adding the following lines into it:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=pmTrans
Comment=pmTrans
Exec=java -jar /path-to/pmTransALLOS.jar
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application
