A special thanks goes out to Ed Burns for giving me useful feedback.

The files that you need for a Windows binary distribution is lib\jjstick.dll
and Joystick.jar. You must of course agree to the license included in this
distribution, which includes giving credit to the authors for the creation
of this library.
Thank you for you interest in the library.

Here is some information on getting your Linux Joystick working

in Java.
This doesn't work with the Linux 2.2 kernel, but doesn't really
take advantage of update only events. The code that was written
for Linux requires joydev.o. It should be at
"/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/input/".
This also requires the driver for your particular joystick. For an HID
joystick you just need to enable USB and HID support under USB support
and Joystick support under Input Core support in the kernel
configuration. For something like the Logitech WingMan you need to
enable Serial port device support and input line discipline under
Character Devices->Joysticks, then you turn on that particular Joystick
module under the Joystick heading. Turning on traditional joysticks is
similar, you just add Game Port support and then add the module for your
particular joystick.

The joydev module must be loaded for this API to find any
joysticks. Depending on a variety of factors this may or may
not be autoloaded when you plug in a joystick, if it isn't
you must do a "modprobe joydev" as root to load it. If
it doesn't load, you probably don't have the joystick drivers
(often the case when you compile your own kernel). I don't

think anyone using a commercial distibution out of the box

would have the problem, but programmers are likely to.
If you wanted everyone to be able to use the joystick the permissions
should be crw-rw-rw, this may be the problem you're having since a lot
of distributions have the joystick available to root only.

When compiling on Linux you may need to specify where your
Java C++ headers are located. You can specify the headers when
using "make" by doing the following in the linux directory:
make INCS="-I/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/include/ -I/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/include/linu
x/"
