I'm on Manjaro and have a shell script which configures the environment for a Java application in the same folder.

I am able to run said shell script in terminal and my Java app starts, everything is fine.

The point is I want to launch my Java app by double click its shell script.
The problem is, I can't assign the terminal as default app to open my script, can't believe it!

And yes, my script begins with #!/bin/sh

If I go into (file properties> open with) , I can find a lot of unrelated applications,
Execute software/shell extension

.. are the closest hints. There's no terminal to choose. There's no button to add another app as launcher for my script.

You do know that after your shell script exits, the environment it created exits with it? – wurtel Jun 19 '19 at 07:50
@ctrl-alt-delor I execute the shell script writing its full path in quotes and confirm with return button. Works perfectly. – Jarold Jun 21 '19 at 18:25
@wurtel 2 sounds great but manjaro opens the application bundle of my Java application on double click – Jarold Jun 21 '19 at 18:26
