I have tried reading the documentation, but I still have no idea to get started. How would you install the graphics library into Ubuntu, and how would you make a simple program to for instance display a JPEG image on the screen?
I got a start using the Nehe tutorialshttp://nehe.gamedev.net/ (http://nehe.gamedev.net/). Each lesson has the lwjgl code for it, at the bottom of the page
