Changes since last release:

  • JOGL library including API doc, sources and demos has been updated to version 1.1.1
  • bug which causes the pack to break when configurations are imported from NetBeans 6.0 to 6.1 fixed
  • GLSL linker now does not stop linking shaders on compiler warnings
  • the pack should now correctly deploy JOGL and GlueGen’s native libraries on all supported platforms (64bit bug)

Features:

  • JOGL project template (Simple JOGL Application) for easy getting started
  • Ready to run JOGL demos and examples of the OpenGL Programming Guide (also known as Red Book)
  • Integration of JOGL GUI components into the Matisse GUI builder
  • OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) editor with compiler error annotation, code folding, syntax highlighting, auto completion and documentation
  • Easy access to the GLSL compiler and linker of your graphics driver integrated in the editor
  • OpenGL Capabilities Viewer

Note: The pack will not update the build script of already existing projects. If you have projects generated with a older version of the Pack you may want to update the build script manually to get latest features like webstart support. You find the build script here or of course in the nbproject folder of every new generated project.

As always, send any kind of feedback to the project mailing lists or here on the JGO forums. For concrete bug reports, please use the issue tracker (you have to be logged in to file an issue).
