Installation

In order to operate, JXInput needs only two files. There is the file JXInput.jar that contains the compiled Java classes and JXInput.dll holding the native code.

JXInput.jar has to be part of your CLASSPATH, JXInput.dll has to be in a place where Windows is able to find it. I prefer to have the DLL just in the directory where the application starts.

Place both files into one directory and double-click JXInput.jar. If your JRE is setup correctly, this should start an dialog showing what your inputdevice is able to perform. This is a good and easy test to find out wether everything is fine with JXInput.
