Does compose-desktop have a self/auto updater for Desktop?

[Olivier Patry]

Not as far as I know, you have to rely on regular Java desktop application solutions

[Gernot Pokorny]

I cannot ask customers to install Java

[Olivier Patry]

that's not what I meant, I'm speaking about existing tooling unrelated to Compose to achieve this, like jpackage is used under the hood by Jetbrains for Compose for desktop apps, there should be something doable for auto update mechanism.

When I was checking for this a while ago, I went for a ad hoc mechanism not super automatic nor user friendly, but I considered Conveyor but didn't spend time on it
