  Description     : portable joystick and gamepad library for java

 The JInput Project hosts an implementation of an API for game controller
 discovery and polled input. It is part of a suite of open-source
 technologies initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems
 with intention of making the development of high performance games in
 Java a reality.
 .
 The API itself is pure Java and presents a platform-neutral completely
 portable model of controller discovery and polling. It can handle
 arbitrary controllers and returns both human and machine understandable
 descriptions of the inputs available.
 .
 The implementation hosted here also includes plug-ins to allow the API
 to adapt to various specific platforms. These plug-ins often contain a
 native code portion to interface to the host system.
