Internals
- HashGarten is written entirely in Java and it uses the Swing framework
- It uses Jacksum as a lib and calls its API, it does not call Jacksum by the command line
- It requires FlatLaF to get a modern look and feel. See also https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
- The GUI supports the same program options as Jacksum does, so you can initialize the GUI even by the command line
- It reads and stores GUI properties from/to $HOME/.HashGarten.properties
