Platform independent distro of jogamp?

kitfox
Right now I have a project I can build and run using the jogamp-windows-i586 distro of JogAmp.  However, as I would like to post this as open source, I'm worried that linux and mac users won't be able to compile my code without manually changing the build settings.

Is there some distro that has all the binaries?  I'd prefer to avoid having the users download all five flavors of JogAMP.

The java class/jar files are 100% platform independent (unlike SWT for example).

This is more in regards to deployment, not compilation.
You could choose Webstart, Applets, .. or your manual self deployed bundle.
For the latter, just make sure you add all native platform JAR files to your
binary distribution. You simply can pick one platform's 7z file, extract it
and add the others *native* jar files .. done.

However .. probably a good idea to offer a 7z archive for all platforms, I dunno.

Yeah.  I was just thinking that as you release new versions of JogAMP, it could get messy keeping everything in synch.  Users may also be unsure exactly how I assembled my custom distribution from all the official ones.
