Architecture

Alchemy is built in Java and primarily uses the Java 2D API. It also uses a number of other open source libraries such as the Java Plugin Framework for loading modules, JPen for communicating with pen tablets, iText for PDF export, PDF Renderer for viewing PDF files, and Batik for SVG Export.

We currently support Mac, Linux, and Windows.

We use the NetBeans IDE and include the Netbeans project files in the repository. Using the build.xml file supplied and NetBeans, everything should compile straight away on all platforms. The only dependency is Lauch4j to create .exe files for distribution on Windows.
