How do I make an LWJGL window resizable?

I am trying to make the window of my java game resizable, which uses the LWJGL library. According to some forum questions that date back from 2007 this is only possible with a workaround. Is this still the case today? And what is the way to go?

If you are using LWJGL 2.9 you can call

Display.setResizable();

This will allow the window to be resized.

Then before you update the display do this.

if (Display.wasResized()) GL11.glViewport(0, 0, Display.getWidth(), Display.getHeight());

this will change the viewport to be the size of the screen if it was resized.

The Display class has the option for enabling resizing. http://lwjgl.org/javadoc/org/lwjgl/opengl/Display.html#setResizable(boolean)

You can get the width and height at anytime with getWidth() and getHeight().

LWJGL's native display is not resizable. However its easy to achieve you simply use an AWT Frame and using Display.setParent(Canvas) stick your LWJGL content on it to get a resizeable window.
