The new build works perfectly for me as well. Thanks! 

Hi all,

I was trying JInput on Linux and came across this thread when trying to resolve the same problem. I noticed that the joystick appears to be detected, but not until my program has exited. I've got test code and its output, which I've attached to this post.

It was run on a Slackware 10.2 system with JDK 1.5.0_04 and one joystick on /dev/input/js0. I hope it helps.
