Hi.

I've forked jogl and made the changes necessary to get it building on FreeBSD:

http://github.com/rothwell/jogl/tree/freebsd-fixes

But I've come up against a problem:

java.compile.javase:
    [javac] Compiling 69 source files to /storage/home/m0/git-ext/jogamp-rothwell/jogl/build/nativewindow/classes

    [javac]   symbol:   method getConstructor(String,ClassLoader,Class[])

    [javac] 6 errors

The types of some of the methods seem wrong: The only 'createInstance' I can find in jogl is in
gluegen and has the type:

public static final Object createInstance(Class clazz, Class[] cstrArgTypes, Object[] cstrArgs)

Obviously the code above is trying to call one of the type:

createInstance(String,ClassLoader,Object[])

Is something out of sync with the repos? Or is this a known problem/work in progress?
