JOGL?

hey im new to this and i dont know where to get the classes and stuff i need to use JOGL. can some one help me?

Hi!
Got the same problem a while ago. Even after reading the wiki, userguide an browsing the forums u dont really know where to start. The information is there but a little "hidden". So heres what I have done (using Windows - for Linux its similar but other native libraries):

1. Download the JOGL autobuild from here: http://jogamp.org/deployment/autobuilds/
   (I used this one http://jogamp.org/deployment/autobuilds/jogl-2010-06-15_22-33-09/build/)
2. Extract ur platform .zip and add gluegen-rt.jar, jogl.all.jar and nativewindow.all.jar to ur classpath
3. Add the native libraries gluegen-rt.dll, jogl_desktop.dll and nativewindow_awt.dll to ur path
4. Copy/Paste this simple one class example http://github.com/sgothel/jogl-demos/blob/master/src/demos/gears/Gears.java
   ("Gears" example from the JOGL-Demos github repository)
5. Compile and enjoy Java OpenGL:)

Hope that helps to get started ...

ok so i downloaded it but im not sure where on my Comp to put the files uhhh can you give me a file path kuz im not that familiar with some of these terms XD

Take a look here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html

... but if ur not familiar with the basic setup of java applications in general I wouldn't recommend starting with such a "complicated" task as OpenGL or JOGL. Anyway godspeed in ur undertaking :)

i know how to program i just dont know how to put this stuff in so i can use it :P

also what program are u using to program things with this, kuz idk if that will make a difference

Personally I'm using "Eclipse" as my IDE. One of the JOGL maintainers is using "Netbeans" with the "OpenGL Pack" as far as I'm informed. Take a look here: http://michael-bien.com/mbien/category/NetBeans+OpenGL+Pack

... also I've heard some horror-stories of people using "VI" as their favorite development environment *scnr* :).

So in the end it doesnt really matter what editor/IDE u use. If u are asking for the most beginner friendly IDE I would recommend u Netbeans with the OpenGL Pack.

however the OpenGL Pack isn't compatible with NetBeans 6.9 yet and ships with an older version of JOGL. But if you are using NB 6.8 its a nice way to get started (contains a lot of demos etc).

one last question, where do i put the files from the OpenGL rar?

opengl.rar ? U mean opengl.jar ? Are u using "Processing" ?

... when it comes to JOGL2 there is no opengl.jar!

sry if i confused u but i was just talking about the Netbeans OpanGL Pack that that guy linked

that guy recommends to take a look at
http://kenai.com/projects/netbeans-opengl-pack/pages/Home#Installation
you can even ignore step 3 :)

regards,
michael

uhhhhhh that just sends me back to this topic

Sorry, I seem to be having problems with installing JOGL too and I didn't understand point 3 ('Add the native libraries gluegen-rt.dll, jogl_desktop.dll and nativewindow_awt.dll to ur path') of your post. Where should I add them? PATH system variable?

thanks.
