Linux Gamepad Input on jme3-lwjgl Splits Input Between Two Logical Gamepads

[Markil3]

Basically, jinput-platform is the dependency 2.0.5 uses to load its native libraries, and natives-all is the one 2.0.9 uses. I’m guessing they changed the project structure somewhere down the line.

You are right, but in case someone wonders what jinput does and removes it “because it’s part of lwjgl”, or upgrades lwjgl, which may override jinput, that information would be lost.

True. In that case, we should probably at least add a comment to the source explaining the problem and referencing this thread.

if (!hasProperty('mainClass')) {
    ext.mainClass = ''
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':jme3-core')
    compile project(':jme3-desktop')
    compile 'org.lwjgl.lwjgl:lwjgl:2.9.3'
    /*
