The JUtils Project hosts an implementation of a set of APIs - utilized by other Java Game Technology Group projects (eg JInput,JOAl, JOGL). - Some of those other projects may have build and/or run-time dependancies on - the jutils.jar file which is built from the source hosted here. -

The JInput Project hosts an implementation of an API for game controller + discovery and polled input. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies + initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems with intention of + making the development of high performance games in Java a reality.

+

The API itself is pure Java and presents a platform-neutral + completely portable model of controller discovery and polling. + It can handle arbitrary controllers and returns both human and + machine understandable descriptions of the inputs available.

+

The implementation hosted here also includes plug-ins to allow + the API to adapt to various specific platforms. These plug-ins + often contain a native code portion to interface to the host system. +

The intial implementation - of the JUtils library is available - for download from CVS. -

The initial release contains support classes for a plug-in system that handles - an arbitrary number of arbitrarily complex plugins that each consist of a JAR - file and support files (other jar files, native libs, etc.)

+
The intial implementation + of the Java Input API is available for download from + CVS. + The initial release only contains a plug-in for Win32. + Plug-ins for other platforms (eg Linux, Mac, etc.) are expected to be + forthcoming either from the Java Game Technology Group or other project + contributors.
