lwjgl-2.9.3 - jinput.jar

[doev]

I am currently using lwjgl3 for my development. I am looking for a platform independent way to access game controllers. Lwjgl3 comes with glfw3.x, which comes with joystick input (1). I would really prefer to use that build in api, but it don't fit my requirements.

The concrete problem is, that I need the joystick events as streaming data - glfw only provides access to the current joystick state. Please correct me, if that is wrong.

After looking around, I found jinput. But I can't figure out in which state the project is. The old project pages are down and you find many dead links. There is jinput-git (2), but it looks not really up to date and there is no documentation.

Now, I am looking for an stable old version of jinput. What I found so far, lwjgl-2.9.3 contains jinput.jar and the natives. Now my question.

Can you provide some information about the version or if there is a documentation? I also would be glad, if someone can give some further information about jinput or can provide a better solution.

thanks.
