sizeof jogl.jar

#1

I don’t like to complain, but it seems like there is some debug and trace stuff in jogl.jar that is bloating the size. Will everything run okay without these classes? could they be a separate jar file just used for development time? Currently the jogl.jar is the biggest part of my webstart application and some users have been complaining about the download times…

Cheers

The last time I checked, removing the DebugGL and TraceGL didn’t shrink the download size very much. Are you finding differently?

In the JSR-231 specification we decided to leave these classes in rather than make them optional because again they didn’t seem to add all that much size and having them guaranteed to be available has its advantages.

Have you looked into Pack200 compression for jogl.jar (Java 5.0 only)? We specifically repack it before distribution so that you can ship a packed version, which shrinks the download size dramatically.
