GLCapabilities

I’m trying to instantiate a GLCapabilities object. According to the docs (which I downloaded from JOGL nightly build) this constructor doesn’t take a parameter. But it won’t compile without a parameter…can someone point me to the right set of docs for this class?

Thanks@!

you probably downloaded the doc for jogl 1.1.1 instead of the jogl 2 javadocs.

GLCapabilities:

some related code snippets for JOGL2 initialization are on my blog which might help a bit to get started:

Gah! You’re right…The JOGL 2.0 section is way way way down at the bottom of the page. What is the difference between JSR 231 and JOGL 2.0?

a JSR is a Java Specification Request -> a specification. JOGL is a reference implementation for JSR 231. JOGL 2 is currently ahead of the specification which will be updated earlier or later in a maintenance spec update.

Alright, cool. I don’t understand what that means but thanks for the reply.

when will this be made, and where can i find the changes made on every build (if any)

the best way to track development is to subscribe to the commits mailing list.

major changes or features are usually announced on Sven’s blog (which is apparently down right now ;))
