Talk:Tutorials/Update LWJGL (Legacy)

On the note about 1.0.0 including the latest update, is this true? I still have sticky keys in 1.0.0 on linux. 70.116.2.198 22:14, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. At least on Windows I had to update LWJGL manually. One thing you can do is open the lwjgl.jar with 7-zip. Compare the "Modified Date" to the release date of LWJGL. If "Modified" is way outdated, let's say sometime 2010. Then you can assume that your LWJGL is not up to date. --130.83.20.73 04:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right, I've just checked by doing a fresh install and the LWJGL installed was identical to the old one. Martinbrook 14:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Old versions of Java
On some distros of Linux (namely Ubuntu), it's difficult to get the latest version of Java. For LWJGL to work with an older Java version, you have to download an older LWJGL version. For Java 1.6u26, which is what Ubuntu supports (I'm not experienced enough to update), I had to use 2.7.1. Now that I think about it, though, I might be able to use a slightly newer version, but I have enough increased stability that it's not much to worry about yet. I'll report back with results later.

Nevermind. For those running Java 6u26, 2.7.1 is the best release. For later Java versions, 2.8.2 is probably the best. I don't really feel like rigorously testing this, though. Megabobster 02:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
