I'd add a note saying that it will not run with Open JDK 7. I'd emphisie it's only garentted to run on Java Versions 8 and up. They do have Java 9 beta out BTW.

For those interested I do Have a Simple startup script For this. Simply Past it into a text doc and name it CK2IBT.sh

Make sure you allw to run as an exectuable. You can do that from Properties.

For those Who don't know how to run a Bash Script (the .sh file) open a terminal/command line. Then type ./CK2IBT.sh and then hit enter. It ought to work.

echo "Thank you for using The Crusader Kings II Ironman Backup Tool"

cd "$HOME/.paradoxinteractive/Crusader Kings II/mod/CK2IBT/"

java -jar "CK2IronmanBackupTool.jar"

Thank you. Nice touch with the echo, hehe :) The path on my system is actually ..\Paradox Interactive\.. with a space. Maybe it's a Windows thing. If you try out this launch script and it doesn't work, make sure the path is correct.

Actually, if you're gonna open the terminal anyway, you can just type

java -jar "your/path/to/ck2ibt/CK2IronmanBackupTool.jar" (including quotes)

Well ./CK2IBT.sh is easier.

And this assumes you have CK2 installed into the defult Linux install Directory.

As for the space it more like it's a linux thing. Linux is both Space and Case sensitive.
For Ex. "/ck2ibt/CK2IronmanBackupTool.jar" and "/CK2IBT/CK2IronmanBackupTool.jar" are entirly different folders. Where as Windows Dosn't care. Linux also is really picky about spaces. to run a file with spaces Quotes are manditory. Also windows CMD prompt and Linux Bash shell, though similar is a few respects, are entierly different and use differnt commands to call the same funtions in most cases.

v0.92 requires to be installed in the mod folder. I expect that the next update will allow users to install in any location and then ask for the save games folder location.
