Update from Jogamp 2.0 to 2.0.2 causes curve TextRenderer exception

Hello all,

My curve TextRenderer had been rendering text perfectly until I tried updating from Jogamp 2.0 to 2.0.2, which now causes the following exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: readShaderSource(shader/curverenderer01.vp) error:

It seems that there might be a uniforms.glsl file somewhere within the libraries but I am not sure where to find it or how to link it.

I'm getting this error as well. I export my project as a jar and export with the libraries copied into a sub-folder. My jar will only work on linux and if I try run it on Mac OSX or Windows I get this error. There seems to be some problem with loading the shaders from the jogl jar files?

Even when manually including the jar files through `java -cp classfiles classname` I still get the same exeception.

Are you sure you use exactly the same version under Windows, GNU Linux and Mac OS X?

I sync the files between systems using Google drive. I did an md5 hash on my Mac and Linux platforms and they both come up the same, but still the same result.

Cheers, Leigh.

P.S. This is when I try to use JOGL's TextRendering functionality btw.

Also, this runs fine on Mac, Windows and Linux if I'm running it through Eclipse. This only happens when I have exported the project to a jar.

Ok so your suggestion led me to dig deeper and find the cause of the problem. My jogl-all.jar was being pulled from another project which was out of date, but only during export. Thanks so much for your help!

Ok, so that temporarily seemed to have fixed my problem till I tried syncing it in my Google Drive folder again (I have a workflow of building it locally and then transferring it to Google Drive for distribution).

I have found the cause of it not being able to find the shader programs!

The Google Drive folder has a space in it's name, i.e. \User\Google Drive\some_folder , when I remove that space the shaders load fine. So it seems there's a bug in 2.0.2 that means it can't handle spaces in the path name when loading shaders. Should I open a bug report for this?

EDIT : Posted as bug here https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=820

Thank you for your excellent investigation :)
