All plugins are briefly described in the following.
|
|
|
|
<h2>LWJGL library: org.lwjgl</h2>
|
|
The most important plugin, which actually is the only one needed by non-developers, is org.lwjgl.
|
|
It makes the LWJGL library available as an Eclipse plugin. That is if you write an Eclipse plugin using LWJGL,
|
|
simply add this plugin to the list of required plugins. It does not only provide the necessary jar files,
|
|
but it also configures the library path in order to automatically load the appropriate native library wihtin
|
|
the Eclipse workbench.
|
|
|
|
<h2>LWJGL documentation and sources</h2>
|
|
<p>Both, documentation and sources, are only required for developers. Both, Javadoc and sources, are attached to
|
|
the LWJGL library in order to allow you easy access to these information. That is, you can simply open an LWJGL class,
|
|
and the source code will be opened. JavaDoc is available via tool-tip and with Shift-F2. You do not have to configure
|
|
anything in order to access the documentation and the source code.
|
|
The tools plugin makes JavaDoc and source code available for non-plugin projects as well.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that only the Java source code is provided, if you want to have a look at the native code, please download
|
|
the LWJGL sources from the LWJGL website.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>LWJGL for Java developers</h2>
|
|
<p>The org.lwjgl.tools plugin provides an already configured library to be added
|
|
to a projects build path. It does not only provide the JARs and native libraries,
|
|
relieving developers from configuring extra VM arguments in the run configuration,
|
|
but it also configures Javadoc and source code to be available in Java projects just as in
|
|
plugin projects.</p>
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h2>Information and test view</h2>
|
|
<p>In order to test whether your installation is correct and in order to
|
|
retrieve additional information on your system, two views are provided. The test view
|
|
draws a spinning torso, while the information view simply prints out available
|
|
versions and features of your graphics card and OpenGL driver.</p>
