Quick question: how can you configure jvmRun gradle task and specify the main class?

[Pablichjenkov]

Check this

[Richard Glen]

Thanks for your fast reply, but I meant to set the mainclass of jvmRun task, not the compose.desktop.

Because a counterpart of what you provided is:
1. applying the application plugin
2. configuring application and set the main class there.

[Richard Glen]

like this. this works.

[Richard Glen]

But I didn’t want to add application plugin. I want to configure the mainclass of jvmRun.

[ephemient]

that isn't using the application plugin, that's using the jvm application extension of the compose multiplatform plugin

[ephemient]

[ephemient]

it isn't super well documented but that's how it works

[Pablichjenkov]

Interesting, yes isn't too popular, I haven't seen that application dsl before.

[Richard Glen]

Oh. Thanks @ephemient for the additional info.

But both solution prompts to add an additional plugin. But not having any of plugin (application or compose), just the multiplatform plugin already adds the jvmRun which tells me the main class is not found/set.

Is there a way to configure that?

[ephemient]

ah yes there is

[ephemient]

should be called entry point or something like that I think?

[Richard Glen]

Yep. Exactly. I need to set an entrypoint (set main class) thats specific for multiplatform jvm

[Richard Glen]

I didn’t get a clear howto here. but here’s how I did this:

[Richard Glen]

Thanks so much for the response anyway! <3

[Pablichjenkov]

mainRun did the trick 😳 , interesting 👍🏻

[Richard Glen]

Yeah. Its showing up a warning tho. Its an experimental api. But this works for now. Thanks!
