Create desktop Entry for Eclipse IDE in Debian 10

I am not expert in linux but can find my way around it most of the time. I have install Eclipse IDE for Debian 10 and tried to create a desktop entry. This is what I did: Created a eclipse.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications directory. These are the contents of the file: [Desktop Entry] Name=Eclipse Java IDE Comment=Eclipse Java IDE Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=/home/testaccount/eclipse/cpp-2020-03/eclipse/eclipse Icon=/home/testaccount/eclipse/cpp-2020-03/eclipse/icon.xpm Categories=GNOME;Application;Development; Terminal=false StartupNotify=true Saved filed and gave exec permission with chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop. I rebooted my Debian VM already and I do not have the icon still. I currently created a soft link to it in the meantime. Not sure why the desktop entry is not working yet, I am not sure what I am missing. Thank you.
