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.
Project mention: What options are there for making GUIs and other visual programs using java? | /r/java | 2023-05-04So I'd recommend using a third party UI manager like this one.
For some time now I was forced to use the SystemTray library when I wanted to have a nice tray menu/icon for the Linux apps I develop. What I didn't like about it was that it was pretty bloated and didn't work well with ProGuard.

Project mention: Using YouTube as Unlimited Cloud Storage? [video] | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19This has been around since at least 2015. I'm not sure if there were other projects demonstrating it at the time, but here's the implementation that I wrote back then: https://github.com/Valkryst/Schillsaver
It turns out Java GUI technology has been somewhat abandoned by Oracle, in particular when running Swing (or JavaFX) applications on Wayland, Java relies on the XWayland adpater to bodge X11 API calls back to Wayland proper. This is not great (read: doesn't work out of the box), so I wondered if someone had implemented a native Wayland backend for Swing - and they have, multiple times - super, but wait.. Oracle have not merged either project into mainline Openjdk, and indeed the only way to make either of them work is by hideous bodging, which also puts paid to any thoughts of writing my own backend, as the hacks required to load it at run time (read: in every application) are not sustainable. Grrr! So what to do?
