The method createGLCanvas is undefined for the type GLDrawableFactory

Hello, i have a little problem with jogl. I receive the error-message thats written in my topic subject for this line:

GLCanvas canvas = GLDrawableFactory.getFactory().createGLCanvas( glCaps );

I installed/set up my jogl by changing the CLASSPATH and PATH variables. Is it possible that this problem occurs because i set up jogl in the wrong way? Importing Classes works fine with this line for example:

Import javax.media.opengl.*;

I'm using Jogl version 1.1.1.
Maybe it's a common problem and you can help me. :)

English isn't my motherlanguage, so if something seems to be wired i try to explain it in another way.

greetings

EDIT: I just tried the gears-demo and it's working fine, so I think I set up everything properly.

I don't know to which version of JOGL you are referring to,
but the current one is completly platform/os windowing toolkit agnostic.

The current GLDrawableFactory can only create a GLDrawable
based on a NativeWindow, which includes the capabilities and maybe on or offscreen.

It's your use of the API, ie what you try to use doesn't exist (any more - maybe).

Your english is just fine, np.

Please check the current API,
the jogl-demos and maybe you want to have a look at Michael's JOGL -> JOGL2 conversion guide,
looks at his blog.
