Documentation of Supported Platforms/Operating Systems

[jayadevanraja]

Which Operating Systems/Platforms are currently supported, and by how much (Not yet planned, Planning Stage, Alpha, Beta, Production)? Also which variants (32 bit, 64 bit).

We should have a table which indicate the level of support for each.

(1) Web Platform (On browsers, in HTML, code transpiled to javascript)
(2) On top of WASM
(3) Android (With Linux kernel)
(4) GNU Operating System (With Linux kernel) - Sailfish OS, Debian/Linux, Ubuntu, etc...
(5) HarmonyOS
(6) GNU Operating System (With Hurd kernel) - Debian/Hurd etc...
(7) Macintosh OS X
(8) Windows 10
(9) iOS
(10) Chromium OS (With Linux kernel)
(11) Fuchsia OS (With Zircon kernel)
(12) dahliaOS (GNU Operating System with Linux kernel and Zircon kernel)

Well, Griffon runs on every platform where Java and the target UI toolkit are supported.

Say you want to use Swing, this means pretty much any platform where Java desktop runs, given that Swing is part of Java SE and thus every Java(tm) (i.e, TCK compatible) implementation guarantees Swing works.

If the chosen UI toolkit is JavaFX then Griffon works only on the platforms currently supported by OpenJFX (which are OsX, Windows, and Linux). ARM support is there as well but has not been tested with Griffon as far as I can tell)

Apache Pivot builds on top of AWT and Java2D (similarly as Swing does) which means Pivot works pretty much no the same platforms as Swing.

Finally Lanterna is designed for non desktop variants (though there's a Swing based container option).

Thanks for the clarification.
