Console programmers likely don't have a JVM that runs on the PS3, X-Box, etc.Java is not as close to the hardware as C is, an essential for a lot of professional 3D game programming.Java does not give you deterministic object finalization.Java does not give you a predictable memory model (console games need this).Java is not compiled to native code, meaning that there is a performance hit the first time the code is run.

I started to collect some materials, develop some examples and decided to organize that information in the form of a book. All the information required was there in the internet but it was not organized and sometimes it was very hard to find and even incomplete or misleading. My initial goal was to learn the techniques involved in writing a 3D game using OpenGL. LWJGL is a Java library that provides access to native APIs used in the development of graphics (OpenGL), audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing (OpenCL) applications.This library leverages the high performance of native OpenGL applications while using the Java language. This online book will introduce the main concepts required to write a 3D game using the LWJGL 3 library.
