Hello

I'm interested in this suggestion. I'd like to know Sven's opinion.

By the way, I have used Gradle for years and I haven't needed to make such changes. Please can you clarify what it brings and what the current workaround is?

Now you have to know which is the classifier for your platform and write something like this:

    implementation("org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt:2.6.0")
    runtimeOnly("org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt:2.6.0:natives-linux-amd64")
    implementation("org.jogamp.jogl:jogl-all:2.6.0")
    runtimeOnly("org.jogamp.jogl:jogl-all:2.6.0:natives-linux-amd64")

the natives should be a dependency automatically injected in the runtime configuration by the build tools, but unfortunately the Maven format doesn't have the capabilities to express such a relationship..
and this is where Gradle comes in: by properly specifying its metadata file, Gradle users won't have anymore this small burden
