How to setup compose desktop hot reload

Steps:

• Use Kotlin 2.1.20-RC (or any higher if released)
• Apply the plugin
• Wrap the content of a window with DevelopmentEntryPoint {}
• Use OptimizeNonSkippingGroups (optional, but a better experience for me).
• Then in a KMP project and IntelliJ, just using main function run gutter to run the APP.
• If you’re using Kotlin JVM or Android Studio, then configure the jvmRun task or provide
• ./gradlew jvmRun -DmainClass=path.toMain.MainKt

Basically, running compose apps is the easiest if using KMP + IntelliJ.

Note: Must use JVM that is shipped with Intellj. Navigate to Settings > Gradle > JDK and make sure IntelliJ JDK is selected
