I looked at what it will take to get this working without java apt.
There is a newer lwjgl3, which doesn't use java apt, so that looks
deceivingly promising, but it requires the kotlin compile, which isn't
in debian.

kotlin itself doesn't look too bad, but it depends (or seems to
depend) on IDEA, which is a huge development environment and a bunch
of other unpackaged dependencies.

So, basically a lot of work is going to need to go into bootsrapping
the dependencies.  So someone should start thinking about that early
in the jessie+1 cycle.  I'm not hugely interested in this package any
more, so I'm not planning to work on that.

In the meantime, for jessie, I think the only solution is getting java
apt back for lwjgl2.

Best wishes,
