JOGL init() method not being called

[Don]

I have been working on a JOGL program for a few weeks, and I found that the init() method in my event listener is never being called. If anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Main Class:

package mainLoop;

import javax.media.opengl.GLCapabilities;
import javax.media.opengl.GLDrawableFactory;
import javax.media.opengl.GLProfile;
import javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

import com.jogamp.opengl.util.Animator;
import com.jogamp.opengl.util.FPSAnimator;

public class MainFrame extends JFrame {

	public static MainFrame frame;
	public static JPanel panel;
	public static GLCapabilities glCaps;
	public static GLCanvas canvas;
	public static FPSAnimator animator;
	
	public MainFrame(String s)
	{
		super(s);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		frame = new MainFrame("GL Test");
		frame.setSize(1280, 720);
		panel = new JPanel();
		panel.setSize(1280, 720);
		frame.add(panel);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(MainFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		GLProfile.initSingleton();
		glCaps = new GLCapabilities(GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL3));
		canvas = new GLCanvas(glCaps);
		canvas.addGLEventListener(new JOGLEventListener());
		animator = new FPSAnimator(60);
		panel.add(canvas);
		animator.add(canvas);
		animator.start();
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

Event Listener Class:

package mainLoop;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;

import javax.media.opengl.GL;
import javax.media.opengl.GL2ES2;
import javax.media.opengl.GL3;
import javax.media.opengl.GLAutoDrawable;
import javax.media.opengl.GLEventListener;
import javax.media.opengl.fixedfunc.GLMatrixFunc;

import com.jogamp.opengl.util.PMVMatrix;

import shaders.ShaderLoader;

public class JOGLEventListener implements GLEventListener{
	
	GL3 gl;

	@Override
	public void display(GLAutoDrawable arg0)
	{
		gl = (GL3) arg0.getGL();
		gl.glDrawArrays(GL.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
	}

	@Override
	public void dispose(GLAutoDrawable arg0)
	{
		
		
	}

	@Override
	public void init(GLAutoDrawable gld)
	{
		gl = (GL3) gld.getGL();
		int[] array = new int[1];
		gl.glGenVertexArrays(1, array, 0);
		gl.glBindVertexArray(array[0]);
		gl.glEnable(GL.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
		gl.glDepthFunc(GL.GL_LEQUAL);
		int[] buffer = new int[1]; 
		gl.glGenBuffers(1, buffer, 0); 
		gl.glBindBuffer(GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer[0]);
		FloatBuffer vertices = FloatBuffer.allocate(9);
		vertices.put(1);
		vertices.put(0);
		vertices.put(-3);
		vertices.put(0);
		vertices.put(0);
		vertices.put(-3);
		vertices.put(0);
		vertices.put(1);
		vertices.put(-3);
		vertices.rewind();
		gl.glBufferData(GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 12 * Float.BYTES, vertices, GL.GL_STATIC_DRAW);
		try {
			gl = ShaderLoader.getShaderProgram((GL3) gl);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			System.exit(0);
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		//make matrices
		PMVMatrix matrixMaker = new PMVMatrix();
		matrixMaker.gluLookAt(10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, 1);
		matrixMaker.gluPerspective(90, 16.0f/9.0f, 0.1f, 100);
		//apply to uniform
		int tempLoc = gl.glGetUniformLocation(ShaderLoader.finalShader, "uniform_Projection");
		gl.glUniformMatrix4fv(tempLoc, 1, false, matrixMaker.glGetMatrixf());
		//set up attributes
		tempLoc = gl.glGetAttribLocation(ShaderLoader.finalShader, "attribute_Position");
		gl.glVertexAttribPointer(tempLoc, 3, GL.GL_FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
		gl.glEnableVertexAttribArray(array[0]);
	}

	@Override
	public void reshape(GLAutoDrawable arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4)
	{
		
	}
	
	
	
	

}

If it helps, I am using java 8 on windows 8.1
