Setting up JOGL in an Exclipse Project

Hi All,
         I tried to make necessary setting-ups in a java project for using JOGL in Windows 7. After downloading the current version of JOGL archive files, I could successfully add the following in the java built-path library of eclipse.

1. Jar files ( gluegen-rt.jar and jogl-all.jar)
2. Location of Native jar files ( gluegen-rt-natives-windows-amd64.jar  and jogl-all-natives-windows-amd64 which are executable jars
3. Source zip files  

When I tried to add the javadoc zip files of both gluegen-rt and jogl-all) as External files, the dialogue box was listing no files although, the folder I selected did include both zipped files of javadocs and  a line displayed as, " No items match in your search.

May I request your advise to resolve this setting-up problem.

Thanks in advance.

There aren't executable JARs, they contain the native libraries, they contain no executables.

Maybe you have to convert jogl-javadoc.7z and gluegen-javadoc.7z into zip to make it work.

Edit.: The wiki should be improved to cover this aspect.

To add javadoc zips in Eclipse, go to the project properties page, select "Java Build Path", click the "Libraries" tab, open up gluegen-rt.jar's tree control, select "Javadoc location", click "Edit...", then point it to your javadoc zip. This should be very similar to how you add the source attachments.

Thanks a lot, Gouessej.

Yes, it works after converting jogl javadoc files from *.7z  to *.zip format.

You're welcome. It's a bit annoying that Eclipse doesn't accept the Java documentation as is in 7z format, sorry.

.. while it is also sufficient to attach the source zip files
to the jar file, as Wade explained in the Wiki.
