What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A server-side JVM library that lets you run Swing/AWT applications remotely and access them from a browser or dedicated client. It was the standalone JetBrains Projector technology, now maintained only as part of JetBrains Gateway.
Use cases
- run Swing applications remotely in a browser
- access desktop Java apps over the network
- run JetBrains IDEs on a remote server
- display a Java GUI without a local display
- stream Swing UI to thin clients
When to choose
- you need to expose an existing Swing/AWT application remotely
- you are working within JetBrains Gateway remote development
- you cannot modify application code but need browser access
When to avoid
- you want remote development with JetBrains IDEs (use Gateway instead)
- you need a supported, actively developed standalone solution
- you need low-latency modern remote desktop features
