Re: OpenGL 4 status

ok so you did it right. looks like a bug to me. If you explicitly request GL4 you should get it or it should fail much earlier.

the funny part is actually that it is a GL4bc implementation (see the stack trace). So it should be GL4 with fixed function functionality (backwards compatibility).

for a workaround you can just cast it down:
GL4 gl = (GL4)drawable.getGL();

(btw context.toString() should give you lots of output which is quite useful for debugging).

i can't test it right now myself.

best regards,

michael

Hi,

Yes, your pages are very useful. But I think that my simple test is much like your examples, except that I went for OGL4, rather than OGL3.  (And with GL3 instead of GL4 everything works fine)
The relevant code sections:

   private GLCanvas createGLCanvas() {
      GLProfile glp = GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL4);
      GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities(glp);
      GLCanvas canvas = new GLCanvas(caps);
      canvas.addGLEventListener(this);
....

  public void init(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
      GL4 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL4(); // <=============== THIS LINE THROWS THE EXCEPTION
      String version = gl.glGetString(GL4.GL_VERSION);
      String shaderversion = gl.glGetString(GL4.GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION);
      System.out.println("GLVERSION: " + version + " shading language: " + shaderversion );
      .....

The result:
java] Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.media.opengl.GLException: Not a GL4 implementation
