How to include the zip generated by LWJGL configurator in Gradle

I downloaded a zip file using the LWJGL configurator here How do I include this in a build.gradle file? I am thinking it would go under dependencies.

Also, the install guide mentions just using the buildscript instead of the zip. How would I do this?

Solution

  • You don't choose the zip mode, but the "Gradle" or "Maven" mode (under "Mode") when you use Gradle/Maven. So, go to https://www.lwjgl.org/customize and then under "Mode" choose "Gradle". This will produce a portion of the build.gradle file containing the dependency declarations for the modules you chose.

    EDIT (see comment below): This however only works for the "Release" and "Nightly" versions of LWJGL3, and not for the "Stable" version because "Stable" references a particular snapshot build which is impossible to reference with maven/gradle artifact coordinates.
