Trouble getting a simple JOGL program running on OSX 10.10

Hi, I've been trying to get a very simple JOGL program running on OSX 10.10, and I can't seem to pass the vertex information to the shaders correctly. After trying everything I could think of in my actual program, I've created a basic test case to help me figure out where I'm going wrong. This program draws a triangle, with the vertex information acting as the colors.

Here is the basic idea of the code:

My program generates this:

This indicates that the vertex data is all 0s. And I'm not seeing any errors when I repeatedly check glGetError.

See what I'm missing?

So after a ton of frustration, and poking around other people's source code. I've discovered that my problem was that I didn't use Direct Buffers. Instead, I was creating my buffers with FloatBuffer.allocate(). Is this noted in the documentation anywhere?

Hopefully this will help others who get hung up on this later.

Thanks

You should use either GLBuffers.newDirectFloatBuffer() or ByteBuffer.allocateDirect().order(native).asFloatBuffer()

Unfortunately not, but good hint, we will add it into the wiki
