JOGL JNI app fails to start on Intel Mac (works on PPC) with InvocationTargetExc

Hi - My application at http://hiv.sf.net downloads and launches fine on a PowerPC Mac (OS 10.4.11), and it has been running unchanged for a number of years now. But I had a report (which I can confirm) that it dosn’t run on an Intel Mac (OS 10.4.11). Here’s the error I get:

I’ll give the JNLP file below in case it’s relevant. Do you have any tips on what might be going wrong?

Thanks for any hints -

Besides outdated docs (no more Canvas object crated from Factory), I ran into a bigger problem that might be affecting you. I received a “Not Implemented Yet” exception when invoking createExternalDrawable().

So it could be that as usual, the Mac implementation is behind that of other platforms (like slimy Mr. Gates). :frowning:

This version of JOGL is obsolete. Please use

http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp

as described in the JOGL Users Guide.

This will require you to upgrade your usage of the JOGL APIs to the new namespace (javax.media.opengl.*) but the implementation is much more robust and I would strongly encourage you to invest the time to do the upgrade. We don’t have the resources to build the older version for the new platforms.
