Processing 4 processing-java binary?

@svan

What you have done appears to me to be similar to what is required to run Processing code in Eclipse

I have been working with all the other IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans and recently VS Code for some time now.

This was a fun exercise for me to do this with just Java and Windows Terminal (Command Prompt). I examined all the JAR files and even extracted the native DLLs. Much of this was by rote for me and I wanted to see what’s new with the recent Processing versions. And work my brains a bit!

@svan

although in this thread far fewer jar files and libraries were required compared to what you describe. I’m curious about the size of the app which you created if it is exported as a standalone.

@glv

The files in the folders can be reduced to a more minimal set.
I will leave that as as an exercise.

Yes indeed!

I was not focused on slimming it down or go as far as packaging it into a JAR file or creating a standalone executable.
I had fun exploring this and even extracting the native DLLs!

My current projects are modifying the Processing source code and building custom versions.
I use VS Code and build, compile, run and package on the Windows Terminal(PowerShell).

All the necessary files are in an export from the PDE (even a blank sketch!) and that can be used by anyone as a starting point. I have a slimmed down version for my personal use.

@svan

we might need to try and reproduce what you achieved on other platforms.

My exploration was brief, superficial, and solely for personal development. The topic has sparked my interest, and now I’m focused on established methods and best practices. Development methods are both varied and standardized, and I encourage individual investigation.
