How to add a program that is not installed via APT/dpkg to launcher? [duplicate]

You should create a Desktop Entry first: Go in terminal and write:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/adt.desktop

and write inside of editor:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ADT
Type=Application
Exec=/home/dusan/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140321/eclipse/eclipse 
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/dusan/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140321/eclipse/eclipse.xpm
Comment=Any comment
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Development;IDE
Name[en]=adt.desktop

Replace Icon and Exec with the path to Eclipse. Then press Ctrl+X followed by Y, then Enter.

Now you have desktop entry in Dashboard. Drag it to your launcher. May need to logout.
