Hi, is it possible to use Compose Desktop plugin outside of compose project? for example in Java Swing project, only using it for generating the app binraries (include the JDK with exe for example or build the macOS app bundle and configuring different platforms etc..), or is it specific to Compose Desktop projects?

For that use-case you are probably better off by using jpackage directly. The Compose Desktop plugin is probably too specific for that and it internally uses jpackage too.

Thank you, I heard of it before but never really use it, I will give it a try.

Be aware that jpackage doesn't do online updates. You could check out http://conveyor.hydraulic.dev for that which can do swing apps. + online updates and other things, my company makes it
