Do you need an external library to make games with Java?

Question

It may sound kinda stupid from me But do you need to download / import any required modules to make basic games with java? and advanced games?

Answer 1

no. you can do everything you want with the standard API. however, there are some libraries which make some things easier. just google for libgdx. it's just one example. or use javax.swing or javafx (that are the packages in the standard API you could be interested in)
