FWIW. I tried to make a compose desktop using jewel at work. but got shutdown by security team because i need to use jetbrains jdk. we can only install our certificate onto a small subset of known jdks. 😭 hopefully that requirement goes away 🤞

The JBR requirement is not going to go away, so I hope you mean the certificate one 😄

[Colton Idle]

I was indeed talking about the JBR requirement.

[Colton Idle]

very interesting that a "UI" has a hard requirement on JBR!
but then again. im a noob at this. so i guess there must be more than meets the eye.

I wonder if I can get geminis new multi modal capability to create me a "jewel theme" that just mirrors all of the components from jewel lol @Chris Sinco [G] guess I'll be giving that multi modal feature a try soon enough

The main point of the JBR is to provide a metric ton of UI features, fixes, and improvements that other JVMs do not have (and don't care much about getting, I suspect). Jewel, like the IJ Platform, depend on those to work properly.

What exactly is the issue with JBR?

[Colton Idle]

Our company uses some certificate you need to install on a bunch of tools. Namely you have to add the cert into android studio settings AND add it (via keytool) into your jdk. they have a bunch of jdks that are allow listed (pretty much just Azul Zulu OpenJDK).

so now on my company laptop. a jewel sample won't build because I need to change jdk to JBR. but the JBR doesn't work (i get my typical ssl exceptions)

[zsmb]

Is the certificate for the applications running on the JDK to be able to access some company resources somehow? IntelliJ itself, or the app that you're building?

[Colton Idle]

the jdk (as well as studio) need the cert installed. if not, then you get a bunch of ssl exceptions.

Feels like the company is snooping on all the SSL traffic 😛

Yep. It makes everything 10x harder. And in this case... making jewel close to impossible. lol. Good to know the requirement with JBR isn't going away though (personally. I thought maybe it was a temporary thing while jewel was still under development). but maybe now ill have to try to bother the sec folks
