IntelliJ Creating a desktop Icon on Ubuntu

IntelliJ does not create any desktop entry by defualt on Ubuntu, in fact there is no install process at all. So, i use to run idea.sh from the command line.  This could become a problem when you close terminals.

But, here is a way of adding a Desktop entry by clicking on Tools->Create Desktop Entry which is a really nice feature.

Once that is done you can now use it from the desktop plus add it to the Launcher on Ubuntu.
