Aha, in answering your questions I figured out the problem with the exception, but I'll respond below in order.

You build w/ gnu-toolchain I assume, i.e. gcc etc ?

I built using ant, from the instructions.. It did use gcc, because i had to install gcc for the build to work.

No OpenGL is available at all :(

Pls run w/ all (JOGL) debug flags enabled, see Wiki/FAQ/Debug.

DISPLAY env var set properly ?

'glxgears -info' works well ?

So I don't have glxgears, or glxinfo (from the other solaris sparc post i mentioned they didn't have it either), but i used the program that person in the other post used, ogl_install_check, and that worked when I ran on the computer directly the other day before I got started. BUT I just tried it again now to get you the output, and it turns out it does not work through my current VNC session.  Which made me realize it's probably a problem with running through my vnc. So I tried again directly on the computer and everything is working there just fine now with my build jars, so far. So the patch worked well and no changes since then apparently, again at least so far, i'm able to run my application and see the 3D graphs. We'll be doing more testing.

And as far as it not running on vnc I''m not too concerned about that, I have not had any trouble running my application with JOGL on Linux through VNC, and this solaris system was pretty bare bones. I haven't configured vnc at all, it was working just enough that I could run the builds and open the application so I didn't bother with it; didn't think about the fact that there's not much else enabled in vnc currently, opengl probably one of those things. The message is something like "extension "GLX" missing on display ":2.0". Probably an easy google fix if I need it in the future.

Thanks!
