Thanks for the link, it has been very helful, but I have a new problem >:(

I need to allow jogl downloading on my server, the problem is that every jar you distribute has to be signed with the same certificate: should I sign jogl? Maybe Sun has already done it, I’ve tried to extract for example jogl-natives-linux.jar and then to create a new jar file using my own certificate… :-X

I’ve not managed to extract jogl.jar, the created folders are empty…

Any idea?

Thanks

Use a JNLP-EXT - there is an official one from sun. All you have to do is include the URL in your JNLP, and all the rest is automatic - you get a signed version without having to do anything.

I would copy/paste the URL from JGF, but that’s down at the moment :frowning: .

Could you give me link as soon as the website works?

How do I integrate the ext in my JNLP?

Thanks

Look at the jnlp file of Zoltar’s Return (in my sig) it uses the official JOGL extension.

Thanks, it has been very useful!
I’m now facing an other problem: the ressources (jogl.jar etc) that are downloaded are not used: I don’t know where they’re stored on the file system nor how to link them to the application?

Any idea?

Thanks
