Attempting to run sample program errors out (Windows 10) about hid4java HOT 5 CLOSED

This will not work. You need at least 4.1 version of JNA. JNA 3.5.1 doesn't automatically load natives, 4.1 does. You will have to upgrade your local JNA to at least 4.1.0 (this one works good). Are you limited with Java version too? You need to have at least Java 6 to run this.

Okay thanks. There's one problem though - another project I'm using (LibVLC Java) requires JNA 3.5.2. I don't think that it's possible to run both, is it?

EDIT : I've made the same attempt with JNA 4.1.0 - Same Issue : (Also; Running on Java 1.8_45)

One other thing - I do not know if it matters, but I'm developing with the Netbeans IDE.

Okay I goofed... I downloaded the entire project as a .zip file and tried to make it work as a Java project instead of... whatever it is.

I've never worked with... whatever this is, but when I tried to debug it as is (straight out of the .zip), it worked fine... so I'm sorry for taking your time.

Hi @AbbottWC. The hid4java project is a Maven project which is how many Java projects are created these days. There's more information in the wiki that may help you become more familiar with the process.
