David Planella and I have spent the past couple of weeks gathering, cleaning and verifying Unity integration documentation that has existed on the Ubuntu wiki, individual blogs and inside the source code itself. After publishing those docs, a couple of people asked for some kind of simple “hello world” type of application to show off how all that integration works.
So, I made one.
You can get the code from Launchpad:
bzr branch lp:hello-unity
It’s not complete yet, but it’s a start. Let me know if you’re interesting in contributing to it.
What I would be interested in accessing the the appmenu, as in creating a hud like searchable list of the application and indicator menu content.
You’d like an example of how to read that data? I can probably work that in
Yes, but don’t consider it as top priority, I’m just curious.
Can you answer me this question:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/107987/how-to-add-shortcut-to-unity-launcher-programmatically
This is not written by me, but I got exactly the same problem.
I’ve added my Programm to the Unity Launcher, but it doesn’t appear there until one make a reboot/login or I make unity –replace.

Hello!
I develop in Java and would like to know how to integrate a Java application.
Thanks
You will need to use the Java GObject Introspection library: https://live.gnome.org/JGIR
Once you have that, it will be mostly the same as the Python examples in hello-unity (since both bindings are generated from the same GObjects), you will just need to determine the correct Java syntax.
