title: Multi-touch Java on Linux
body: <p>I need to add support for multi-touch gestures in my Java application, which is deployed on Linux. I've found <a href="http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-howto.html" rel="nofollow">http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-howto.html</a> which appears to be a good approach for getting the hardware to work. (Although I haven't started doing the kernel patching yet...)</p>
  
  <p>The next question will be how to get the gestures up into my java code. I found Mt4J, but that project seems to do tons and tons of stuff other than just handling multi-touch gestures. I already have an OpenGL-based rendering engine, thank you very much! :)</p>
  
  <p>It seems really strange to me that there isn't a JSR for getting these multi-touch events up into the AWT event handling infrastructure.</p>
  
  <p>I really don't need something to interpret the gestures for me. I just want to know when there are multiple inputs at the same time, so I can act on them.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions?</p>
