Quick Question - Answer ASAP

Hi all,

Just have a quick question. My team is currently using JOGL 2.3.2 and we are transitioning from Java 9 to Java 21. I wanted to know if there will be any compatibility issues?

I'm finding issues with running JOGL 2.3.2 with Java 21 on Linux currently, and not too sure if it's because our JOGL version needs to be updated to JOGL 2.4.0.

Thank you.

To add more to the question, I would like to also ask how come there is a lack of libnewt.so in jogl 2.4.0? I was trying to upgrade by replacing all the libs and jars we had but there is only libnewt_drm.so and libnewt_head.so

Hello

I advise you to use the JogAmp fat JAR to keep things simple except if it doesn't suit your use case.

Moreover, don't forget the --add-opens clauses if you want to use JOGL with Java >= 9.

Finally, rather use the latest version, it will help us to help you ;)

Bug 1156: Seperate DRM/GBM NEWT native library from main head NEWT native library

DRM/GBM is enabled for Linux in general.
Nativewindow's 'nativewindow_drm' DRM/GBM native library is already seperated.

NEWT get its 'newt_drm' DRM/GBM native library.

NEWT's main head native library is renamed from 'newt' -> 'newt_head'
and is earmarked for further seperation similar to Nativewindow's.
At least a 'newt_wayland' will probably followup when support is added.

Goal is to remove DRM/GBM dependency for Linux X11 operation
as well as removing X11 dependency for Linux DRM/GBM operation.
