JogAmp 'Jbeil' RC Build 2.4.0-rc-20200106

JogAmp 'Jbeil' RC Build 2.4.0-rc-20200106

<https://jogamp.org/deployment/v2.4.0-rc-20200106/>

Changes to previous RC:

1) SWT w/ High-DPI Scaling issues on MacOS (and others)
Bug 1358 <https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1358>
and Bug 1421 <https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1421>

- Further fixes fixed I hope, waiting for validation

- On MacOS it seems to be working, GLCanvas works fine now
  and NewtCanvasSWT might need more positioning fixes (Bug 1421)

- Linux/Windows (Non-MacOS, Non-Native-DPI-Scaling) might need
  some thoughts how to handle SWT's imposed DPI scaling?
  IMHO not .. but ..

- Further fixes for SWT shall land in 2.4.1 (Bug 1421 and new ones)

I've just tested it on TUER, I haven't found any regression. Thank you for the good work :)

Hi,
 
I successfully tested a special version of Sweet Home 3D 6.2 JAR Executable built with Java 3D 1.6.1 and JOGL 2.4.0-rc-20200106, under the following Java / OS combinations:
- Oracle Java 8u202 / Windows 10 64 bit
- OpenJDK 13.0.1 / Windows 10 64 bit
- Oracle Java 8u51 / Windows XP 32 bit
- Oracle Java 8u202 / macOS 10.14
- OpenJDK 13.0.1 / macOS 10.14
- Oracle Java 8u202 / Ubuntu 18 64 bit
- OpenJDK 13.0.1 / Ubuntu 18 64 bit
- Oracle Java 8u202 / Ubuntu 14 32 bit

Feel free to test it under other combinations (just check that the About dialog displays Java 3D 1.6.1 which is bound to JOGL 2.4.0 RC).

Thanks

PS: Why did you replace the hyphen in libgluegen-rt DLLs by an underscore?

Maybe nice to have a Release 2.4.0 including
the 2.4.0 RC success of such manual tests?
If you have a wiki account on jogamp.org ...

Java 3D 1.6.1

Java3D 1.6.2 and Java3D 1.7.0 are available.

I've produced test builds for the JaamSim software with this RC Build. Will advise if any of our users report issues.

It dropped in to our build process without requiring and changes, which was really appreciated!!

Thanks all.
