<h1>LWJGL Tools</h1>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>You will also need the org.lwjgl plugin. JavaDoc and source code are
|
|
retrieved from the org.lwjgl.doc and org.lwjgl.source plugins.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Configure the LWJGL library</h2>
|
|
You can configure the LWJGL library for a plain Java project by opening the
|
|
projects properties. Select "Java Build Path" and "Libraries", such as shown in
|
|
Figure 1. Note: Click on the images here to show a larger version.

</div>
|
|
|
|
Select "Add Library..." on the right hand side. This will open a new dialog window as shown in Figure 2.

|
|
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:small">Fig. 2: Add library</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Select "LWJGL Library". You can simply press "Finish". However if you want to have some information about
|
|
the paths of the added library, simply select "Next". In the latter case, the next wizard page will show
|
|
you the path settings automatically configured by the tool plugin as shown in Figure 3.

|
|
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:small">Fig. 3: Library info</span>
|

</div>
|
|
|
|
You have no successfully configured the LWJGL library, as shown in Figure 4. Press "OK" to finish the set up.

|
|
<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:small">Fig. 4: Configured library</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can now use the LWJGL library in your Java project, and you can simply start
|
|
the project by selecting "Run As / Java Application..." in the context menu of a class containing a main method.
|
|
That is, you do not have to configure some VM arguments in the run configuration anymore, which will hopefully make development
|
|
much easier.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: At this moment, no further tools, e.g., for exporting an LWJGL application, exists.
