Confused over tutorials. Can anyone guide me.

Hi!

I was trying to follow tutorials. They started to teach me how to build JCEF. Then I saw that those who want prebuilt versions can go to http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html .

I downloaded linux 64 bit version. What do I have to do next? tutorials doesnt explain it very well (at all).

JCEF is a Java wrapper for CEF. If you want to use C/C++ code for your client application then you don't need JCEF. If you want to use Java code then you need to build JCEF as described at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... uilding.md

There is no pre-built jars that I could simply add to the project together with OS specific chrome binary?

Hi, I am new to this project but I think its a great tool that is needed. Especially because JxBrowser (https://www.teamdev.com/jxbrowser) is WAY to expensive for developer with limited resources.

I actually got the project to work by following everything step-by-step (MacOS). Thanks for that.

However, it seems that the ONLY way to make everything run is by moving compiled Jar files inside the app bundle and running the app directly. This is actually pretty problematic during the early stages of app development when one might need to look at console output and even debug the app while its running.

I know there is currently no Jar we can drop into our project, however, my question is.... Is it "theoretically" possible? If so, I would love to help if I can get an overall idea on how to accomplish this.

On macOS you can optionally organize your app without a bundle as described here: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... t-35461901

You can also join the discussion about improved distribution mechanisms at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... -available
