Kotlin

I finished reading the Kotlin documentation (§[Concepts](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/basic-types.html)) and want to do something now. I was thinking about making a desktop app with a GUI. For that people seem to recommend Jetbrains Compose. It seems however that the guides (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-multiplatform-create-first-app.html) to set up such a project assume I have more than one target. I however don't and thus don't need to divide my project into common code, ios code, wasm code, etc. I only need to compile my project for the JVM, since I'm only intending to support Linux and BSD. I don't have much experience with the Java/Kotlin-centric build systems and I would like to avoid investing too much time into it (since for now I would like to spend more time writing that app, preferring to learn Gradle later in my journey), so I thought about just generating a template as recommended by the guides (using https://kmp.jetbrains.com/) and to just remove everything that doesn't matter for my project. However, since I don't have much experience with Gradle yet, I don't know what exactly the changes are that I need to make to the build script ::: spoiler Generated code ```kotlin import org.jetbrains.compose.desktop.application.dsl.TargetFormat plugins { alias(libs.plugins.kotlinMultiplatform) alias(libs.plugins.jetbrainsCompose) alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler) } kotlin { jvm("desktop") sourceSets { val desktopMain by getting commonMain.dependencies { implementation(compose.runtime) implementation(compose.foundation) implementation(compose.material) implementation(compose.ui) implementation(compose.components.resources) implementation(compose.components.uiToolingPreview) implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel) implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.runtime.compose) } desktopMain.dependencies { implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs) implementation(libs.kotlinx.coroutines.swing) } } } compose.desktop { application { mainClass = "org.example.project.MainKt" nativeDistributions { targetFormats(TargetFormat.Dmg, TargetFormat.Msi, TargetFormat.Deb) packageName = "org.example.project" packageVersion = "1.0.0" } } } ``` ::: What resources should I look at to quickly create a kotlin Compose project targeting only the JVM? (maybe a gradle crashcourse????) --- Unrelated, but if you want you can also share your opinion regarding the use of Compose vs JavaFX vs Swing for this situation
