I have written a javafx media player.I want to run this on start-up. The mediaplayer.jar file is located at Desktop.The player plays the files inside a data folder which is in the same directory.

Thanks Raedwald. I studied the post you mentioned and I finally resolved it.

Here the steps I did.

startapp.sh

#!/bin/bash
java -jar /home/usr/local/bin/vedioplayer.jar

created the above script and saved it in /etc/init.d make sure you allow execution of the shell script.

  sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/startapp.sh

After that run the follwing command

  sudo update-rc.d startapp.sh defaults 98 02

Also you can add the script to Startup Applications list from Applications.
