Compiling LWJGL using JCreator

OpenGL Development
#1

Hi, i am new to LWJGL and i am hoping that one of you could please tell me how to get LWJGL to compile using JCReator. I have downloaded LWJGL 0.93 alpha from the LWJGL website but where do i put the files now, i dont want to compile my programs using the command line, but instead by using JCReator as I have always used this when dealing with java.
thanks in advance to all who reply

In the project wizard->class path->required libraries->new->add->uhm… path I guess.

(I don’t use JCreator)

  1. Copy the jar-files into /lib/ext.
  2. Copy the dll-files into /bin.
  3. Start JCreator
  4. Configure -> Options -> JDK Profiles -> Select your profile -> Edit… -> Select the classes tab -> Add -> Add Archive… -> Select all the LWJGL-jar-files you copied into /lib/ext -> Open
  5. OK
  6. Apply

Process completed.

Looks like ShipEntity was compiled with Java 1.5. Delete ShipEntity.class, and all other .class files, and recompile.

seems to have done the trick, compiles now, thanks :slight_smile:
