How do I write a "launcher" class for TornadoFX app to be able to run it from jar-file? I have tried to use Maven's (I'm using Maven) maven-jar-plugin configuration to generate MANIFEST.MF file with Main-Class entry, it does but with no success - TornadoFX app class is inherited from Application and has no static main method

#tornadofx ?

Oh, that channel did not show up and I was unaware of it, thanks

Application has launch(args), call that from your main

[ValV]

So I just can add main into tornado's App calling that method?

You should have your own class extending App, lets say it's called MyApp. In MyApp.kt you would then have:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    Application.launch(MyApp::class.java, *args)
}

Yeah, got it, inside companion object, thanks
