Vertex array usage

[pepijnve]

I can't seem to get vertex arrays to function properly.

1   2   3   4   5

vertices.put( new float[]{1, 1, 0} ); vertices.put( new float[]{-1, -1, 0} ); vertices.put( new float[]{-1, 1, 0} ); vertices.put( new float[]{1, -1, 0} ); vertices.flip();

I use the above code to create my list of vertices. The float arrays are just for clarity.
After that, the following code displays a cross

1   2   3   4   5

vertices.rewind(); gl.glBegin( GL.GL_LINES ); while ( vertices.remaining() >= 3 )   gl.glVertex3f( vertices.get(), vertices.get(), vertices.get() ); gl.glEnd();

But this code displays nothing at all

1   2   3   4

vertices.rewind(); gl.glEnableClientState( GL.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY ); gl.glVertexPointer( 3, GL.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertices ); gl.glDrawArrays( GL.GL_LINES, 0, 4 );

Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong?

Problem solved. I was using buffers that I created myself and had forgotten to set the correct byte order. Default is big endian, x86 is little endian.
Note to self: always use BufferUtils
