Is there a java API for an app to create a desktop shortcut?

[DEMETRIOS J TSILLAS]

I have a web app which is accessible via browser and I'd like to be able to ask the user if they want to install a desktop shortcut so they can access the app directly, without having to launch the browser.

Is there a java API for doing this?

Not Java, but you should be able to do this by setting certain attributes in the site's web app manifest:
