cg redist distribution w/ JWS

Hi!

Im looking to use nvidia’s Cg language for my shader programming and have happily discovered that jogl includes a binding library for it. However, im concerned about distributing my own unsigned jar w/ the cg redist rather than just the signed jogl.jar. Im also not sure exactly how to deploy the redist so that it will still work with the jogl-cg lib.

Ill admit im pretty weak on java deployment. Even just a hint about the best way to do this with Java Web Start would save me a lot of research time.

Much thx,
Jeff.

I think it should be enough to have

<extension name="jogl" href="http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp" />

in the resources section of your jnlp file. That will furnish the user with all appropriate binaries for their platform, including cg AFAIK, without them needing to say they particularly trust you or whatever.
