Oh, great! Thanks

I hope Compose team publishes this tool in the future so we could pre-compile our own icon sets.

It should be pretty simple to pull down that project and integrate it as you need. You don’t need it to be published as a binary to use it.

Ah, yeah! I meant so people could do that more easily.

Will the generated source code be packaged into sources.jar in the future? At present, it only packs the compiled classes into aar. Sometimes I want to view the source code of Icons.**.**, but it is obviously unable to do this at present.

@Chachako Compose for Desktop artifacts have always been packaged in jar. See https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jetbrains.compose.material/material-icons-core/0.4.0-build184.
