JOGL and JCreator

[Cakey]

Hi everyone, new to the forum. Not new to programming. I had a decent project running in JOGL using a demo IDE(either eclipse or jcreator pro). However, the demo ran up, so I dowloaded Jcreator LE(free version), and now I can’t figure out how to even get the jogl libraries into JCreator.

I know I should be able to just hit settings and add the libraries but it just doesn’t work? My questions are: Any other IDE/compiler that is free that jogl can easily be imported too, or How do I get JCreator LE to include these libraries. Thanks!

Eclipse is freeware - it’s not a demo.

I reallllly hate to be that guy…I honestly do not remember adding JOGL libraries being this difficult. I can’t find any links for it either. I’m using netbeans, and I added the Library path(to JOGL) to my projects libraries, and to no avail I cannot import jogl… This is reallly depressing, I was like half way through my game and now I can’t even get jogl to run. Anyone have a link that may be of use for someone in a sad position as myself?

Like I added the libraries in JCreator and in NetBeans but none of my code works. I get the whacky error that definetly was not an issue before… But in netbeans I can’t even import the stuff…I’m about to throw in the towel on Java all together…

Use our plugin for Netbeans.

SO I downloaded and installed the openGl plug-in as you suggested for net-beans. However I tried running a DEMO, and it says this,

java -jar “C:…\Java\JOGLPickingDemo\dist\JOGLPickingDemo.jar”
Creating native distibutions
C:\Users…\Java\JOGLPickingDemo\nbproject\build-jogl-template-impl.xml:12: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users…\Java\JOGLPickingDemo\nbproject\build-jogl-template-impl.xml:86: C:\Users…\Java\opengl\build\cluster\libs\jogl.jar-natives-windows-i586 not found.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

So how do I get the JOGL library into net-beans? honestly you guys all using net-beans have done this, so it’d be cool if I got a legitamate answer on this. You’d think the plug-in would include jogl…?

EDIT - More specific, I have downloaded JOGL. I Know how to import libraries into NetBeans. WHERE DO I PUT THE JOGL *.JAR’s and dll’s? Thanks

Hmm, you shouldn’t have this problem - normally this works. Did you download the zip archive from the plugin portal? DIs you install all nbms? Did you have a Library named “JOGL” in your Libraries Manager before installing the plugin? Maybe this interferes.

Try uninstalling the modules, delete all libraries named “JOGL”, “GLUEGEN” or similar and reinstall the modules. Which Netbeans version do you use?

If you want to manual setup JOGL in netbeans, see http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php/topic,1474.msg126909.html#msg126909
