How to enable Gluegen (Java3D) on Java 9

Hello Julien! How are you?

I think that I tested that option among many other options with negative success. I also recompiled the Java3D library for JDK 8 and alternatively, for JDK 9 with some small edits. It does not change anything on any platform, roughly speaking. It failed on OpenJDK... but I destroyed the OpenJDK and recompiled for Ubuntu 16 successfully with OracleJDK. I tried to set the default NOOP renderer, but it failed on all systems. I tried to combine things with the latest Jogamp auto build edition, but it does not change anything.

On MacOS, the execution looks like this:

java -jar project5-test.jar
3D [dev] @VERSION_BASE@-@VERSION_SUFFIX@-experimental @BUILDTIME_VERBOSE@

Initializing 3D runtime system:
    version = @VERSION_BASE@-@VERSION_SUFFIX@-experimental @BUILDTIME_VERBOSE@
    vendor = @IMPL_VENDOR@
    specification.version = 1.6
    specification.vendor = @SPEC_VENDOR@

     * At least, Canvas3D(gc) turns rogue on some platforms or with some library versions possibly due to Gluegen library.

Hi

I succeed in compiling Java3D 1.6 and 1.7 with OpenJDK 1.8 under Mageia Linux. Actually, I have never compiled it with Oracle Java.

Phil might confirm, he plans to add some AWT free support into Java3D 1.7, it would help as we wouldn't have to load AWT.

I can see that I can compile jogl, glugen, j3d in Ubuntu 16 fast and easy. Do I also compile for MacOS by any chance? I have MacOS SDK in a folder, but I don't know where to specify it for the Ant build system.

It should work. Why do you talk about Mac OS X SDK? You need XCode or at least GCC.

Julien, if I am wasting your time, please be free to interrupt me. Here, I have many different operating systems installed. The MacOS is inconvenient for work with because it is contained in the VirtualBox. (By contrast, VMware has much more amazing capabilities.) I've hoped that I could set up a "build environment" entirely on a single operating system in analogy with the automated build environment that you probably have. It would be nice to have the option to switch the operating systems and perform something like:
ant clean
ant build windows
ant clean
ant build macos sdkdir=~/macos_sdk/
...
The difference would be the include path.

I know that the command "ant build all" does not build all the native libraries. Windows and Linux natives are good, individually. Should I forget about all this now? :-)

No, you're not, your help is precious and Sven asked me the bug list yesterday, something is going to happen.

There is no such environment because fully cross compiling all native libraries under GNU Linux would be very very difficult to do and the result might be less than optimal.
