Can't find JOGL binaries

kitfox
I've been developing a project using JSR-231.  So far, I've been able to get away with using the library plugin for NetBeans.  However, I would like to change my build process so it is independent of NetBeans.  To do this, I'll need to link to the jar files directly.

I've spent an hour combing through the jogamp.org website, and cannot find what I need to download to allow me to develop with JOGL on my home machine.  I remember back with JOGL 1.1.1 there was a zip file with all the relevant jars and native libraries.  Is there something like that I can grab now?

Just scroll down a bit farther on the front JogAmp page  Then look under Builds > Signed Release > zip. The link is http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/archive/. The files are encoded with 7zip, so you might need to download the unzipper from http://www.7-zip.org/.

Instructions for setting up in various IDEs and on the command line are on the wiki at http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_a_JogAmp_project_in_your_favorite_IDE.

Recently there have been suggestions that our download links aren't obvious enough -- this question seems to confirm it

Thanks.

I'd  recommend posting the info on http://jogamp.org/jogl/www/ as well, since this seems to be your landing page from Google.  It's also the page I kept starting my searches from, since it's linked from the JOGL menu option.

Also, I kept searching webpages for the keyword 'download'.  Maybe if you added something obvious like "download the latest binaries here" it would make it easier to find.

Just to follow up on that.

I remember back when JOGL and JOAL were separate projects and JOCL didn't exist.  It wasn't obvious to me that they had been merged into one superproject with a single distributable for all of them.  Adding a 'this way to the downloads' link to the different subproject pages would help folks thinking like me who are wondering why the JOGL files aren't on the JOGL page.
