Java bindings

SDL Development
1

Hi all, I’m thinking about giving a shot at game programming in Java,
using SDL. After some googling I noticed there is already several SDL
bindings out there. Does anyone have any personal suggestions on which
one I should use? Or which one of them is more mature? I’d prefer
something that stays within SDL’s philosophy of keeping it simple,
without any extra higher level stuff (sometimes bindings try to do too
much and end up not really being bindings, I hate that).

Thanks,–

SDL Java ( http://sdljava.sourceforge.net/ ) works very well in my experience.

With some fiddling, it can even be made to compile to native with gcj.
