To link to this library:

"de.sciss" %% "desktop" % v

Furthermore, if you want to support a particular platform, also add some of the following:

"de.sciss" %% "desktop-mac" % v
"de.sciss" %% "desktop-linux" % v

The current version v is "0.11.4".

building

This project builds with sbt against Scala 2.13, 2.12, Dotty. The last version to support Scala 2.11 was 0.10.4.

To build subproject "desktop-mac", you need either OS X with Apple's EAWT extensions, or otherwise the dummy OrangeExtensions are used.

Note that as of 0.10.5, you need Java 9 or newer to compile; however the library can still be used on Java 8. Java 9 is needed to compile support for Java 9 java.awt.Desktop API.

Some demos are available through sbt desktop/test:run. For Mac specific demos, sbt desktop-mac/test:run. Note that when you run on JDK 11 on macOS, it will use the Java 9 API instead of EAWT.
