I’ve just started adding JOGL to a webpage I’m working on using multiple applets using JNLPAppletLauncher to run the applets. It links to Sun for retrieval of the actual jars, so I’m wondering, is it possible to host these yourself? I use signed applets and it would be nice to have a common notice for all. JOGL2 with 3.1 is what I’d prefer to use.
Also, what alternatives are the to the JNLPAppletLauncher for applets? Can you trim the size of the jars even more with the new compression?
Ed:
After some testing by including the Gears applet, I seem to have some stability problems in Firefox 3.0.11 (WinXP 32-bit). For example, if I move the applet sometimes rectangles with the webpage’s background color get draw in-front of the applet (like a mask over the applet). Also, resizing the applet produces flickering where I believe there’s a delay between the canvas redraw until the OpenGL redraw (the background get erased twice). Even Java2d have this problem, so it’s probably related to Firefox instead.
