I know this.
But this method is for the git sources, isn't it?

Moreover until v2.0.2-rc12, I could build the sources by this method.

The files in the jogamp-all-platforms.7z are completely different!

Am I misleading?

Thanks,

The sources found in the GIT is used to build all the jogamp projects. During the build process some new sources are generated by gluegen like the opengl bindings.
Use the GIT sources if you want to contribute to the jogamp project.

When JogAmp produces a binary release that passes all the test, we package the binaries created by the autobuild system and then create a new git tag marking the sources used to produce the tested binaries. The git tags is the source release!

The sources found inside the jogamp-all-platforms.7z "binary release" is intended to be used by developers who wants to connect javadoc and sources to their favourite IDE. These source bundles contains all the generated binding source produced by gluegen.

Hope this clears up the misunderstanding.
