projector-client VS compose-multiplatform

I think they folded this technology into their Gateway but IJ had a Swing surface that was built for "IDEA on the Web," too: https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-server#the-state-of-p...

Thanks for the update! The source of that module is at https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-client/tree/master/projector-agent-ij-injector and it also doesn't have any dependencies on the MiraiCP repository or any code similarities that I could see.

In order to run the projector, we need to install projector-server on our DO server and client on your own computer.

JetBrains has developed a client for Projector based on Electron. You may opt to install it on you client machine as according to a blog post by the creators, it supports shortcuts that are unavailable through a browser. You may download the latest version for Windows, Linux or Mac from here, or though the JetBrains toolbox if you have it installed.

Have you tried to use a native app? At least the official site said it supports better functionality.

So, to add file associations, we need to be able to pass both the .properties file and the --file-associations option. At the time of writing this article, the org.jetbrains.compose plugin doesn't provide such a mechanism. There is an open issue on GitHub that describes a possible workaround, which, unfortunately seems to not work on macOS.

JetBrains has a simplified example of a general-purpose Compose text viewer here: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/examples/codeviewer/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/jetbrains/codeviewer/ui/editor/Editor.kt


Compose for desktop has a scrollbar component available. You probably can't use that directly on Android, but you could probably steal most of its code.

My company uses https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform to make a desktop app in Kotlin. It's amazing and fantastic. It's basically as mature as using Kotlin in an Android app.

Kamel is an asynchronous media loading library for Compose Multiplatform.

As for missing controls, a common one is a grid. They have built in grids, but again they are built for Android and don't make any sense in a desktop app. There is no simple way to create an Excel-like Data Grid like you might see in Windows Forms, although it can be done. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/344.
