You seem to have an extra 2 in jee-2019-122 for both Exec and Icon file paths. Maybe it should be jee-2019-12, unless the extra 2 is intentional.

Otherwise your desktop entry file seems correct and similar to mine. I just solved this similar issue on Pop!_OS 19.10.

Place the eclipse.desktop file you created into ~/.local/share/applications. I also right clicked eclipse.desktop and went into Properties, then the Permissions tab, and checked the box for Allow executing file as program.

This old answer helped me How to pin Eclipse to the Unity launcher?
