Hi jobl,

you can find the latest development version of JOGL2 in my repository at github
http://github.com/mbien/jogl
you will have to use latest gluegen since both must fit together
http://github.com/mbien/gluegen

Sven's repos are ok too, but they are currently a few months behind.

if you would like to pick a particular revision, check the logs on the build master:
http://michael-bien.com/hudson/

but use JOGL2 at your own risk, it is still in development

(the project page at kenai is no longer under our control)

yes

Oracle uses its own private fork and officially does no more develop JOGL. Now JOGL is a community-driven project.

you can't remove the security warning with your own certificate, the only thing you can do with a proper certificate is show a nicer security warning. Only way to prevent a security warning from showing is to use Suns/Oracles magic certificate which they are no longer providing to the project since they don't support it.

hmm ... if i/we can't use the "magic" Oracle/SUN certificate anymore, i guess no one will dare to run my applet.

Basically, the certificate will be of varying degrees of scariness, but users are all genuinely so dim they'll click yes on anything if they want to see what it is, which is just as well.

First of all: Hi!
I am Peter Friebel, Lead Programmer of a fresh new company that aims to produce some cool games. I have been reading this forum for a while and it has been very helpful and interesting. Now I thought the time was ripe to actually participate in the discussions as we will be experiencing a lot of issues and certainly will be able to put back a lot of information that can help others.

I have no particular history as a game engine programmer but I do have about 25 years of designing and implementing software development frameworks, API's and R&D in general behind me and a few of those projects involved 3D engines and such. But compared to some of you i'm certainly a newbie where Open GL and JOGL are concerned.

I reply on this topic as I would like to hear your opinion on what (latest) version of JOGL to use if my goal is to, somewhere next year, release a commercial game. I have the same problems with JOAL and even Java itself as one of the main reasons for choosing Java is the fork-join framework in Java 7. For the first title however there are no issues with the java version.

Today the engine runs on JOGL 1.1.1a and last night I downloaded a JOGL 2.0 and migrated the jogl renderer implementation to that (using the GL2 profile). That seemed to work fine. I am pretty adventurous but I do not think it would be the best of ideas to create a commercial product solely based on a bunch of development or beta stuff (not that i did not do that before ).

My basic question is: when will JOGL 2 be released, and if that is beyond 2011, what would be the best choice in your opinion: JOGL 1.1.1 or JOGL 2? The game will be a stand alone Java application running mostly on Windows PC (both 32 bits and 64) (yet as a Java and Linux buff I would not mind it running on Linux and even MAC).

Thanks in advance for any information on this issue.

Hi Mr Peter Friebel

I have to switch to JOGL 2 for a commercial product in some months. I think that I will spend some days (in July or Juny 2010) to shake it up and fix some bugs if any. Therefore, you can plan to use JOGL 2 for a commercial product, count on us.

bienator, where is an up-to-date list of the known bugs of JOGL 2? There was such a list on Project Kenai.

Thank you for your fast answers! Great to know that JOGL 2 will be released in time. I downloaded the sources and tested if I could build it myself. That worked fine too. That is always nice to know. Cause, quite frankly, I did not really want to go back to 1.1.1.



 

we already have one... (since around three months) we only wait for the hardware. patience

sure, but building and testing a crossplatform library requires hardware. Setting up a "showcase" page without binaries makes no sense for me, thats why its still offline. We are currently only testing on linux since we have no other hardware yet. This will change soon.

we don't neglect anything, people who are using JOGL in production are using JSR 231, speak JOGL 1.1.1. There was no stable release of JOGL2 yet... thats why its not that bad to wait a few weeks more.
