Yes, if you look close, the lines right above that call xdg-open, and
are echoing the [Desktop Entry] lines into a file (using the >>). It is
basically creating a desktop icon entry in a common location.
/bin/echo -e "#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=PDF Studio 9
Exec=/bin/sh \"$I4J_INSTALL_LOCATION/pdfstudio9\"
Icon=$I4J_INSTALL_LOCATION/.install4j/pdfstudio9.png
" >> "$I4J_INSTALL_LOCATION/pdfstudio9.desktop"
That is all "one line" of a command essentially.
It looks like the script just makes a few symlinks and ensures the newly
created desktop icon is executable.
The rest is just unpacking jar files, which I'm not as familiar with as
I haven't touched java in close to a decade. It all looks straight forward.
