lwjgl in Eclipse...

[jiapei100]

Hi, all:

I downloaded source of lwjgl 2.2.1  and make it a project in Eclipse.
However, there are always some "red crosses" to indicate the compilation errors.

1) lwjgl/src/templates   org.lwjgl.openal
AL10.java
AL11.java

2) lwjgl/src/templates   org.lwjgl.opengl
GL11.java
GL12.java
GL13.java
GL14.java
GL15.java
GL20java
GL21.java
GL30.java
GL31.java
GL32.java

All errors are telling

The type XXXX is already defined

for instance

The type GL11 is already defined

So, I'm just wondering where I defined these "interfaces" before?
How can I avoid these annoying "red crosses" for lwjgl 2.2.1?


Thank you very much !!

Regards
JIA

disclaimer: I am not an lwjgl developer, just a user.

AFAIK templates are used as a source to generate the files in the generated folder.

They are not valid Java sources but are to be processed by a preprocessor. If you just want to build the lwjgl library you have to remove that folder from source folders you don't need them there.

I don't know what program processes those templates but the generated Java and generated native sources seem to be created by that mystical pre-processor. Certainly you don't need the pre-processor as the processed files are also part of the distribution.

correct.
The templates are processed by APT - the Annotation Processor Tool which is included in the JDK.

The rules for the annotations are themselves in the org.lwjgl.util.generator and generates both java and c code.

Thank you so much for your clear explanation.

In this case, it's better that I don't use Eclipse  ^_^, so that there will be no error indications.

no, just make sure you add: src/java and src/generated as the source folder instead of src
