I'm new to OpenGL in Java, and Java in general. I am following a textbook and trying to create my first window. However, when I run my code, I get the error that "package com.jogamp.opengl does not exist". I have added the .JAR files to my project's reference libraries as shown:



My code reads:

import javax.swing.*;
import static com.jogamp.opengl.GL4.*;
import com.jogamp.opengl.*;
import com.jogamp.opengl.awt.GLCanvas;

public class Code extends JFrame implements GLEventListener {
private GLCanvas myCanvas;

public Code() {
    setTitle("Chapter 2 - program 1");
    setSize(600, 400);
    setLocation(200, 200);
    myCanvas = new GLCanvas();
    myCanvas.addGLEventListener(this);
    this.add(myCanvas);
    this.setVisible(true);
}

public void display(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
    GL4 gl = (GL4) GLContext.getCurrentGL();
    gl.glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
    gl.glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Code();
}

public void init(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
}

public void reshape(GLAutoDrawable drawable, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
}

public void dispose(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
}
}

Any advice would be great - I'm guessing it is some simple step I've missed, but I've gone over the section in the book a couple of times now so I'm nto sure what I'm missing.
