Um… ok? As I recall, Steve Vaughan over at SRA wrote what he needed of a Jogl port and donated it. Very nice of him to do that too. Not sure why you have this chip on your shoulder, but personally I’ve never claimed it was a complete drop in replacement for jME’s lwjgl impl. I think they’ve improved it some since I left jME last year though.
A while ago there was discussion within Sun about the possibility of signing third-party code that had been suitably audited. I’ll ask one of the members of the Java security team to look at this thread and comment.
For what it’s worth, I personally have no desire to put JOGL at an unfair advantage or LWJGL at an unfair disadvantage.
It’d be nice to fast-track it seeing as we’ve been on about it for, oooh, years

I’m sure the LWJGL team will be happy to make any security changes needed to get it approved too.
I believe it’s already watertight.

Hello all together,
for a few weeks I get the following message when starting my applet:
java.io.IOException: Cannot validate certificate for jogl.dll
java.io.IOException: Cannot validate certificate for gluegen-rt.dll
Now I read this topic but I don’t now, what to do. Is there an update? Which jnlp-File I have to call up?
Are you using local copies of the files? if so re download them or use the one hosted by sun.
Otherwise post your jnlp file.
In my PHP-file I’m using this code:
<applet id="test" name="test" mayscript code="org.jdesktop.applet.util.JNLPAppletLauncher" width=743 height=558 archive="applet-launcher.jar, test.jar">
<param name="codebase_lookup" value="false" />
<param name="subapplet.classname" value="gov.nasa.worldwind.examples.applet.TestApplet" />
<param name="subapplet.displayname" value="Test" />
<param name="noddraw.check" value="true" />
<param name="progressbar" value="true" />
<param name="jnlpNumExtensions" value="1" />
<param name="jnlpExtension1" value="http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp" />
</applet>
I also deleted the cached files.
But: In my test.jar, there is a jogl.jar and gluegen-rt.jar included (I created a Fat Jar with Eclipse).
Could it be, that the error is from these files? If yes, where can I get the new files with new certificates?
But offline in Eclipse it works. And when I delete the extension parameters of my applet code, I get a message if I want to disable Java’s DirectDraw. If I click on “Yes”, I get a message “Unable to open properties file” and there it ends. It doesn’t work.
Oh, a fat jar? That isn’t necessary. Go back to the example they use at the applet launcher page and all will work splendidly for ya.
https://applet-launcher.dev.java.net/
If you really want to use a fat jar you need to redownload the applet launcher, jogl and gluegen jars.
Thanks! That part works now. But another not… I can create my Jar (Fat Jar as well) but when trying to start it, I get the following messages:

I tested the new applet call up code with the old Fat Jar (with old jogl.dll and gluegen-rt.dll) and that works perfect.
<applet id="test" name="test" mayscript code="org.jdesktop.applet.util.JNLPAppletLauncher" width=743 height=558 archive="test.jar, http://download.java.net/media/applet-launcher/applet-launcher.jar, http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jar, http://download.java.net/media/gluegen/webstart/gluegen-rt.jar">
<param name="codebase_lookup" value="false" />
<param name="subapplet.classname" value="gov.nasa.worldwind.examples.applet.TestApplet" />
<param name="subapplet.displayname" value="Test" />
<param name="noddraw.check" value="true" />

<param name="jnlpNumExtensions" value="1" />
<param name="jnlpExtension1" value=" http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp" />
</applet>
But I guess, that combination (Fat Jar with old certificates, new code [see above]) isn’t a good one…
The only thing I see is wrong is an extra space in the beginning of the jnlp path. Is the html code you posted the code you use without the fat jar as well?
Also, putting the dll’s into the jar isn’t adviced seeing as:
- They’ll be downloaded anyway by the applet launcher
- Even if they weren’t mac and linux and solaris and so on won’t be able to use the dll’s.
I deleted the extra space but that didn’t help.
Yep, I want to use this.
The problem is, that the old Fat Jar works, but the new one and the normal Jar not.
You could try to download the applet launcher jar and put it on your website to make sure what you’re calling from your main jar is on the same host as the initial jar, might help. Otherwise I don’t know, it never was an issue for me.
Thank you, for your help!
I posted my problem in a World Wind forum.
Maybe the guys there have an idea…
Works!
Something was wrong with my SignTool.
I signed the Jar manually and now it works!
Again: Thanks for helping with the JOGL certificate and for the applet hints!
