I am trying to use the JNativeHook library to provide global keyboard and mouse listeners for my Java application. I downloaded the source files from here but I am not sure how to install it to eclipse and make a use of it. I have also looked at the Compiling Instructions. I followed all the steps, but it seems to be confusing for me.

Can anyone guide me on how to use the JNativeHook Library? I am using Eclipse as IDE and windows 7 as an operating system.

Follow below steps to install JNativeHook in Eclipse:

  1. Goto release, download and unzip JNativeHook-2.0.0.zip, then get the JNativeHook.jar in the JNativeHook/jar folder.
  2. In Eclipse, Right click on project > properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add JARs
  3. Finally, add JNativeHook.jar

If you want to install with maven locally you can also proceed with these instruction.
