JOGL looks like a dead project on Java.net

Hi guys,

what about updating the Jogl web site on Java.net?

There is no information visibile there that all project activities have moved to Kenai.

So any new developer looking for Jogl information will find an API that supports OpenGL 2.0 together with slides that were last updated on 2007 and an user guide about Jogl 1.1.

Thanks for the good work so far,
Paulo

I agree, I believe that the most majority of users do not know the page of new updates in Project Kenai of JOGL 2. Other big problem is that the demos in https://jogl.dev.java.net/ aren’t working with the new version of JOGL 2 in java web start mode.

I think the whole community should help spreading the technology in their countries mainly in research groups. Obviously the greater the number of users greater the benefit to our community. I have noticed the update of the libraries in my country(Brazil) in Brazilian Computer Society in the forum’s of Computer Graphics and Game Programming. I believe that everyone should help with similar attitudes.

Best Regards.

I e-mailed the guy listed on the JOGL dev page a month or two ago about updating it, he said he didn’t have access anymore and forwarded me to the guy who does. He didn’t reply.

there is already a updated website in the repository which redirects to kenai: http://kenai.com/projects/jogl/sources/jogl-git/content/www/index.html?rev=c623c34c4e4b667a2c1bd7351e7b416f815f52ff

for some reasons it hasn’t made it to the java.net project page yet.

ok ill take a look

#6

page now redirects do kenai.com/projects/jogl since the old project home is obsolete and won’t be any longer updated.

What about the issue tracker? Just yesterday I stumbled across this thread* and discovered that the bug tracker still shows it as open. Looking now at the Kenai bug tracker it contains 4 issues vs 71 open ones at java.net.

  • I have a partially related issue with GLBufferStateTracker - CPU usage in Map.get rather than memory. I may have to review my badgering of Sun to acknowledge that I’m not a terrorist and unlock my account so that I can post a patch.

hmm. Maybe we should detect which bugs still apply to JOGL2 and move them to kenai over time.

Incidentally, what did you do in the end about that issue? Did you create a private fork of JOGL?

#10

yes, but it was around jogl 1.0. I think i used a IntHashMap or something like that. The older jogl releases even had no object tracking - this worked well for me too :wink:

#11

Are there going to be any periodic releases for jogl 2.0 or just nightly builds?

#12

jogl 2 is currently in beta, builds are stored in the archive

Thnx Bienator, any known date for a release

This is a very bad solution for those using jogl1. Make it a closeable div-popup if possible.
