jinput and window focus

[deepthought]

when working with jinput, i have noticed that the poll method will return 0 if you don't have any awt or swing windows open, or if the window doesn't have focus. how do i override this? i need to be able to use jinput with just the console and this native rendering lib i'm working on.

it will use directx only and will read the keyboard/mouse. The down side is that multiple mice/keyboards are not supported.

i see... would it be possible to change the raw input plugin to work without focus? i need to be able to use multiple keyboards and mice. or, i wonder, would the application be considered to have focus if an SDL window is up or fullscreen?
