    Desktop application build

Info

A Java photobooth desktop application packaged as a standalone Windows executable and runnable through Maven. The project demonstrates practical desktop development, build automation, dependency management, and a user-facing image workflow.

The Challenge

The important challenge was making a desktop app that could be built consistently and shared with a Windows user without requiring manual setup. That meant keeping dependencies organized, making the Maven workflow repeatable, and packaging the app in a way that felt practical outside the development environment.

The Solution

I used Maven for dependency and build management, structured the project for repeatable local runs, and packaged the application as a Windows executable. The project is useful on the portfolio because it shows Java beyond coursework: build tooling, application flow, and delivery for an end user.
