                    <p>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.</p>
                    <p>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.</p>
                    <p>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.
