(I am talking about opening jstock using shortcut icon) I dont know about archlinux but I am using ubuntu and I too faced the same problem. In ubuntu its because of how jstock creates .desktop file. It automatically assumes that we would install jstock in the root of home directory. I solved this problem by editing the filename.desktop file created by jstock.

This is how I solved my problem in my system

first go to this location

/home/.local/share/applications

then find the jstock desktop file similar to this org-yccheok-jstock-gui-jstock.desktop . drag and drop in an editor and then edit the path to the location where ever you installed your jstock path=/home/usr/fldr/jstock/

this worked for me

Can you kindly run

java -jar jstock.jar

to see what do you get?
