Small static import finder tool (for LWJGL)

[Riven]

N.B: crosspost from: java-gaming.org thread

Introduction
I bet anybody working with LWJGL has run into this problem... you need, say, the methods & the field

• glDrawElementsInstanced(...)
• glGetUniformLocation(...)
• GL_FRAMEBUFFER

but where on earth are they defined? Google usually answered my question, but it was such a hassle!

Static-Import-Tool to the rescue!

Features

• Intelligent query engine: can match partial camel-case patterns (see screenshot)
• Results are ordered so that most likely method is listed first
• Generates the static-import line, selects it when clicked for easy copying.
• Nothing else, it's a small tool!

Usage:

java -jar static-import-tool.jar /path/to/lwjgl.jar
// or just Run in Eclipse, and it will search for lwjgl.jar in the classpath

This does seem like an unnecessary addition to the workflow. I feel like this would slow you down.

After all, if you know what functions you need to call, you probably have at least a good idea of what class they are in; and if you don't, you can just do what Rednax posted.
