LWJGL 3 change OpenGL context / ContextAttribs alternative

Question

In LWJGL 2 I could to use a older profile of OpenGL do that:

PixelFormat pixelFormat = new PixelFormat();
ContextAttribs contextAtrributes = new ContextAttribs(3, 2) //<--
            .withProfileCore(true)
            .withForwardCompatible(true);

Display.setDisplayMode(new DisplayMode(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
Display.setTitle(WINDOW_TITLE);
Display.create(pixelFormat, contextAtrributes);

In LWJGL 3 there is no Display class anymore, how can I do it there?

Answer 1

Use glfwWindowHint for the ContextAttribs:

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 2);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GLFW_TRUE);

Then

glfwCreateWindow(width, height, title, 0, 0)

glfwWindowHint can also change the options found in PixelFormat, and the defaults are different so you may want to.

You will also need to call glfwInit() before all of this.
