Java 1.5 JOGL question

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I noticed that Sun announced that Java 1.5 will have built-in OpenGL support on Solaris and Linux. Is this JOGL? Or something else?

By the way…how do you install JOGL anyway? I haven’t been able to do it successfully yet for 1.4.2. And, then, how do you package it with apps that you write so that users don’t have to worry about downloading and installing it in addition to java?

Yep…I’m still a newbie. :stuck_out_tongue:

No this isn’t JOGL… this is behind the scenes hardware acceleration for 2D operations. That same way DirectDraw and Direct3D are used on Windows.

As for installing JOGL. The jar has to be on the classpath and the DLL/shared library has to be in one of the java.library.path locations (that’s a System Property).
Usually the current directory of your app works for the DLL.
