Hello, is there a way to use Jetpack Compose Desktop instead of Swing for building UI in IntelliJ ? 😄

Compose desktop (jvm) uses Swing under the hood, so it should be possible to use it instead without problems, I guess 🤔

It is, there's an example in the git repo 🤯

@corneil Any idea how to package compose lib inside the IntelliJ plugin? When the plugin is built as a jar, the jar libs of Compose are not part of it and Android Studio crashes 😢

[corneil]

I'm sorry but I have no idea. I would suggest asking in #intellij-plugins if anyone has used compose to build a plugin.

I'm pretty sure I have to switch to Swing 🤮

I guess you have to use shadow

[galex]

What's that?

[galex]

I see, a gradle plugin for fat jars

Shadow jar means packaging extra dependencies in the same jar.
