I believe some BSDs use it too, and WSL2 will make Linux applications automatically appear on Windows, so editing desktop files may be useful there too. Plus, you don’t need to deal with different architectures (aarch vs amd64).
Alright, but maybe take a look into something like Zenity. The task done by your tool doesn’t really justify installing a huge JRE, when a simple bash script would suffice.
I didn’t make the tool, I merely answered a question.
Had I wanted to develop such a tool myself I probably would’ve gone Python + Qt6 or used some Rust GTK wrapper, or maybe dust off Gambas if all I want it a a few buttons and text fields.
