How is JProcessing different from importing Processing? #2

However, if the time comes when you want to implement Processing GUI and use its methods in an existing Java project, or some of the functionality of your project is only supported in Java IDE, or maybe for some other reasons you just have to program in Java, and need simple methods to work with GUI and animation, then JProcessing will be for you.

Could your Readme explain how using JProcessing different from importing the Processing jars directly into a Java project, e.g. with Eclipse?

Hello Jeremy, Thanks for the email. To be honest, using JProcessing is just like extending PApplet in processing-core.jar. There's little difference. Compared to PApplet, the only difference is JProcessing implements the most frequent-used methods in processing. Methods like 3D rendering and exporting PDF etc. are not included. Therefore, it's advantage is performing just like PApplet for most of the time, while only taking slightly over 1/5 of PApplet's space. It's a light version of PApplet, if code simplicity is concerned. (Also, unlike PApplet, JProcessing extends JFrame which gives you more control over the display window in java)

I'll update Readme to state it more clear. Thankyou for your suggestion.

Hi @KevinLiuxy -- any chance of an update on that README? I'd like to link to and curate this as part of Processing related resources, but I'm a biit worried that the current README may confuse people, making them believe that Processing can't be used in Java without this -- when it can.

I like that you have just developed a lightweight / simplified interface, which can be an alternative to PApplet -- it would be great if that was made clear.

It's been updated. I hope it now clarifies everything better. Ask me if further modifications are needed. I'm very glad to help.

Looks great, Kevin -- thanks so much, and thanks again for sharing this.
