LWJGL Patcher

LWJGL Patcher is designed to download, process, and merge LWJGL (Lightweight Java Game Library) modules. It provides a flexible and efficient way to create custom LWJGL distributions with specific modifications. Used for using LWJGL3 features in LWJGL2.

Features

• Concurrent download of LWJGL modules
• Custom processing of JAR files
• Merging of processed JAR files
• Configurable working directory

Requirements

• Java 11 or higher
• Gradle (for building)
• Dependencies:
  • ASM (for bytecode manipulation)

Usage

To use LWJGL Patcher, create an instance using the builder pattern and then call the execute() method:

LWJGLPatcher patcher = new Builder()
    .setVersion("3.3.3")
    .addModule("lwjgl")
    .addModule("lwjgl-opengl")
    .addModule("lwjgl-glfw") // add more modules if needed (As to what modules are available, check the LWJGL3 page.)
    .setWorkingDirectory(new File("custom_patcher_dir"))
    .build();

try {
    patcher.execute();
    System.out.println("Patching completed successfully.");
} catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
    System.err.println("An error occurred during patching: " + e.getMessage());
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Building with Gradle

To build the project using Gradle, run:

./gradlew clean build

This will compile the project and create a JAR file in the build/libs directory.

Dependencies

In your build.gradle file, make sure to include the following dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.lwjgl:lwjgl:3.3.3'
    implementation 'org.lwjgl:lwjgl-opengl:3.3.3'
    implementation 'org.lwjgl:lwjgl-glfw:3.3.3'
    implementation 'org.ow2.asm:asm:9.2'  // For bytecode manipulation
}

Ensure that your Gradle version is compatible with Java 11 or higher.
