+ <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.
