Installing JOGL

[RandomTree]

Hi, I want to try messing around with 3d in Java, and after a little searching it looks like JOGL would be the best way to go about this. I'm trying to install it, but for unknown reasons this is failing. First, background:

-Using Eclipse IDE
-Using jre1.6.0_07
-Using Windows Vista 64-bit

So anyway, I looked for the most recent JOGL download zip, which seemed to be jogl-1.1.2-pre-20080523-windows-amd64.zip (as of when I downloaded it a few months ago).

Then, in following with a tutorial thingy I found, I copied jogl.dll into the \bin\ folder in my JRE installation, and jogl.jar + gluegen-rt.jar into the \lib\ext\ folder. This looked to be all I needed to do, according to the tutorial.

Anyway, so I went into Eclipse, and set up the following code as per another tutorial I found. This theoretically should be testing to make sure my installation works.

 import net.java.games.jogl.*;


public class HelloWorld {
   public static void main (String args[]) {
      try {
         System.loadLibrary("jogl");
         System.out.println(
            "Hello World! (The native libraries are installed.)"
         );
        GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities();
        System.out.println(
            "Hello JOGL! (The jar appears to be available.)"
         );
      } catch (Exception e) {
         System.out.println(e);
      }
   }
}

At any rate, the crux of the problem is, Eclipse is saying the import at the top of that code is invalid because it can't find net.java.games.jogl. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with my installing? I haven't actually added any Java extensions before so I'm kind of new with this.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: I changed the import to javax.media.opengl.*; which now seems to be working (for the example above). However, when I try to run the tetrahedron example provided on the Wikipedia page about JOGL, a white window pops up but freezes, and the console goes crazy with errors. The main error looks like the following, though - "no jogl_awt in java.library.path" Not quite sure what that means. How should I proceed to get the Wikipedia example working?

Thanks again.

FYI the original post is over 2 years old - I'd presume the original poster has solved the problem or moved on.

Yup, I've had JOGL working on my machine for a very long time now (so long that I can't remember how I fixed this particular problem). Still, thanks for not letting this thread go unanswered! Long waits do not mean original posters aren't still watching (especially with email notification that someone has posted on their thread ;) )

CacoInstaller is not officially supported by the JogAmp Foundation and should not be used to install JOGL 2.0.
