GLCanvas cannot be resolved to a type

I am trying to compile an example JOGL code out of a book and I keep getting the message:

GLCanvas cannot be resolved to a type

everywhere I use the GLCanvas command or the glcanvas object that i declare using it. It starts at the beginning of the code where I declare:

GLCanvas glcanvas;

could someone give me a hint to what i should look at for the cause.
thanks

Did you add the correct import for GLCanvas? And did you add the jogl.jar to your classpath?

#3

could you tell me the correct import for GLCanvas and how to add it to the path. I will check what you tell me against what i did.
thanks

Well, well

import javax.media.opengl.GLCanvas seems fine

And adding the jar is done with -classpath argument on the command line javac.

If your are using an IDE, it depends…
