    it does have a few big advantages though

    1) it's maintained

    2) it's maintained by oracle

    3) it's written entirely in java, so people who don't know C++ can become JVM hackers.

    oh and also of course

    4) it creates native executables of minimal size, with only the parts of the JDK that are needed bundled within it.

    @mikehearn So cool! My plate is pretty full now, but I'll be following this closely! So you'll be using it in gumball?

    well, at the moment i've got a different side project

    gumball wouldn't be useful, it'd be a rewrite from scratch.

    and svm does a lot of what gumball does out of the box anyway

    the next big step for svm is to see how easily it can be made to use javafx. in theory it has what's needed. in practice i bet there are tons of irritating details.

    also on most platforms you can't easily bundle DLLs/DSOs into a single binary. that said, i doubt it matters for gui apps.

    on a mac you'd distribute a .app anyway

    @mikehearn Yeah, I bet POC is easy, production quality launcher is a lot more work. But if anybody can do it, it's you 🙂

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez The package is com.example.demo.app, not demo.app 🙂

    @edvin I tried that earlier but it did not like something about the address

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez Can you fill it in and show me the error message it gives you?
  • e

    edvin

    01/16/2018, 4:21 PM
    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez You can also just click the tornado in the gutter icon of the app class, and it should make the correct run configuration for you.

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez You should not have .kt at the end there. Also, can you show me the top of MyApp.kt?

    yes!

    I suspect you have a package declaration that doesn't match the physical layout

    @edvin I'm always unsure of the scope of the app class within configurations. It's silly, but I usually have trouble with it

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez It looks like you haven't configured the src/main/kotlin folder as a source folder. Click on the top level entry in the treeview and then F4 - click the src/main/kotlin folder and make sure it's a src folder

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez What do you mean scope of the app class?
