Slick2D: Loading: net.java.games.input.DirectAndRawInputEnvironmentPlugin

Question

Dears,

I have recently changed my computer and my mouse and I am facing now a very strange behavior. When I try to launch my game (developed with Slick2D) from Eclipse, it fails if my new BLUETOOTH mouse is connected.

Every time I run the game, I have got a black window blocked in an infinity loop and the console is displaying the following message:

WARNING: Found unknown Windows version: Windows 10
Attempting to use default windows plug-in.
Loading: net.java.games.input.DirectAndRawInputEnvironmentPlugin

If i switch off the mouse, it runs but the console displays the following:

WARNING: Found unknown Windows version: Windows 10
Attempting to use default windows plug-in.
Loading: net.java.games.input.DirectAndRawInputEnvironmentPlugin
Failed to initialize device HIDI2C Device because of: java.io.IOException: Failed to acquire device (8007001e)

Then, I have got an infinity of the following message:

Failed to poll device: Failed to poll device (8007000c)
Failed to poll device: Failed to poll device (8007000c)
Failed to poll device: Failed to poll device (8007000c)

But at least, the game started...

Can you please help? Do you know how to solve the problem?

Many thanks in advance.

For those who will have the same problem, I have found the solution. The error arrived when a device is not supported by your library. In my case, it was a new HP Bluetooth Mouse that allow negative coordinates.

How to fix it? Very simple. The problem come from JInput and if you read the documentation, you see that you have to disable the "useDefaultPlugin":

System.setProperty("net.java.games.input.useDefaultPlugin", "false");

Hope this will help other than me because I lost almost 3 days on this...
