There are a lot of popular frameworks bindings already, thanks a lot ! But, are there any plans to generate SDL bindings Simple DirectMedia Layer ?

P.s. while (as i said) there are a lot of bindings for huge frameworks and libraries, most of them have enormous codebase above C/C++ layer, the most revealing are Python libs. I'm sorry, but it is not what Java developers expects, since it requires to reimplement whole Python'ish or any other X language layer in Java. The most promising are bare C/C++ libs, that just helps to accomplish missing native capabilities on Java side.

Contributions are welcome! I'm happy to help, but I don't personally have the time to do it myself. Someone else will need to spend time on it.

BTW, JavaFX covers a lot of the same use cases as SDL on the Java platform these days.
Be sure to give it a try:

Unfortunately, there are a lot of blockers, that prevents writing high-quality desktop software.
For example: you have huge delay for mouse listeners (its a bug which has been submitted several years ago, still not resolved), such that you can't just write hello-world-paint software.

It's just one example among hundreds bugs.

So, every time i face such weird behavior, the only workaround is to go native.

If there are blocking issues in OpenJFX preventing this, please link them from this issue and I can look into it.
