LWJGL 2.8.1

LWJGL provides developers access to high performance crossplatform libraries such as OpenAL (Open Audio Library) and OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) allowing for state of the art 3D sound in 3D games.

Additionally LWJGL provides access to controllers such as Gamepads, Steering wheel and Joysticks. All in a simple and straight forward API.

LWJGL is not meant to make writing games particularly easy; it is primarily an enabling technology which allows developers to get at resources that are simply otherwise unavailable or poorly implemented on the existing Java platform.
