NPE in JoglPipeline on Java 17 (works on Java 11)

Hi, I am trying to migrate a project from Java 11 to 17. One of the modules, which uses Java3d throws the following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.jogamp.nativewindow.awt.AWTGraphicsConfiguration.getAWTGraphicsConfiguration()" because "awtConfig" is null

Using following libs:

jogamp-java3d1.7.1-build-20200222
and  jogamp libs 2.5.0

Note that the program runs well with those libs by just switching java version back to 11

I noticed that in the following code snippet
    GraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfig(GraphicsConfiguration gconfig) {
a        GraphicsConfigInfo gcInf0 = (GraphicsConfigInfo)Canvas3D.graphicsConfigTable.get(gconfig);
b        AWTGraphicsConfiguration awtConfig = (AWTGraphicsConfiguration)gcInf0.getPrivateData();
c        return awtConfig.getAWTGraphicsConfiguration();
    }

Line a returns a GraphicsConfigInfo with a null privateData field, so line b makes awtConfig null and then the following line is a NPE

That is as far as I followed it

Any suggestion to make it work would be appreciated

You'll need to use some add-opens to make things work on java 17 and newer.

Hello

Harvey is right. Moreover, keep in mind that Java3D 1.7.2 is available:
https://jogamp.org/deployment/maven-java3d/

Thank you Harvey and Julien for your replies.

After setting the add-opens properly (as VM parameters, instead of program arguments ), program worked on java 17

You're welcome. We'll have to drive things less painful by "modularizing" JogAmp itself :s
