How to modify object from Swing in jME3?

Question

I was rotating my jME3 scene object from Swing program. Unfortunately, rotations does not occur until I click jME3 canvas by mouse.

Is it possible to implement modifications immediately?

Is a question a long time ago and you have probably already found a solution. I had the same problem and searched very hard for an solution.

For those who have the same problem, here is a link that might help.

Conclusion: It is a problem of the lost focus in JME canvas.

You can solve it with 2 line code!

First: choose on appsetting: setPauseOnLostFocus(false);

• this make your update methode run also when lost the focus, by clicking on swing components

Second: Also set the focusable property for the other controls in the windows to false with: object.setFocusable(false);

I hope I could help. Best regards.
