Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
At the moment, Java has no support for reading pressure or pen tilt events that come from stylus inputs on tablets. It ought to provide support for reading pen pressure and pen tilt events from a stylus.
Tablet computers becoming more prevalent and it would be very helpful to game and art application developers to have access to this valuable information. Also, the Android API provides access to this input, so it would make the JRE more competitive.
JUSTIFICATION :
The only option for this right now is to employ the JPen library:
http://jpen.sourceforge.net/html-home/
It would be better to have this support provided by the JRE itself, though.
