Joystick in AwtPanelsContext

[willishf]

Using JMonkey to display 3D models in a Swing application/JInternalFrame. Wanted to add support for gamepad/joystick and getting a null from inputManager.getJoysticks();

Digging into the code for AwtPanelsContext no code is implemented to load a joystick and returns null. https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/blob/master/jme3-desktop/src/main/java/com/jme3/system/awt/AwtPanelsContext.java

Is this code not implemented or not possible to support joystick in a AwtPanelsContext mode?

It appears to be not implemented and two lines of code to fix. I tested locally and working. Wanted to file a big report as a future fix.

Or just post the two lines of code here.

Did a quick override of the method as a work around. Not going to pretend I want to be in work from jmonkey source. I am working with 3.2 I think as 3.3 had some build issues that assets or something build related didn't pull correctly in jmonkey ide. I am planning to use jmonkey engine for our 3d robotics simulator and space mapper for autonomous warehouse robot project. So an odd use case not gaming related and long time netbeans fanboy so can work with jars in apache netbeans 12.x We are running java stack on robot and do remote deployment/debugging so need to be on latest java for memory footprint running on ARM.

What's the status of this, what's missing here ? Obviously from general look, its not 2 lines to fix this, we need to implement AwtJoystick at com.jme3.input and use that inside AwtPanelsContext, this will map Awt joystick input to jme joystick input.

[pavly-gerges]

I don't know but there is no really an implementation for Awt joystick input on the java Awt framework, I guess we will need a hardware binding...

May be a project like Jamepad that handles Gamepad input using hardware, libgdx uses a fork of it also..
