I am getting multiple Root Tag Error on maven OpenGL

I have downloaded an automated pom.xml generated file to configure a project folder for OpenGL 3. I used this website : https://www.lwjgl.org/customize

and over there i selected "maven", "linux", "everything" and downloaded the pom.xml file and after importing it as a project in IntelliJ, I am getting this error:

Solution

  • The pom.xml snippet produced and downloadable/copyable from https://www.lwjgl.org/customize does not represent a complete Maven pom.xml file.

    It is just the child-elements that you need to declare dependencies on the LWJGL artifacts.

    Incidentally, there is also a GitHub issue for this (though in a wrong repo): https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3-wiki/issues/7
