GL4Java has it's new _legal_ name:
OpenGL[tm] for Java[tm]
It's abbreviation may be gl4java
.. with the additional trademark hints !
Summary Version 2-5-2-0 testX:
===============================
- jdk1.3 and jdk >=1.4 support while implementing the JAWT interface !
- multi threading usage is more reliabel.
- code is now 64bit clean, 64bit prepared
- Using the new revision makes your existing code incompatible,
because:
- The GLUFunc.gluNew* etc. methods uses the long type for
the reference holder for quadric, tesselation,
.. (old: int type) !
This is, because this new revision is completly 64bit clean !
All native reference holders are of type long !
- You did not encapsulate your OpenGL calls within
GLContext.gljMakeCurrent
<your render code>
GLContext.gljFree
e.g. within the GLCanvas.display method:
glj.gljMakeCurrent(); // lock GL Context
gl.glBegin();
gl.glEnd();
glj.gljSwap();
glj.gljFree(); // release GL Context
All the demo's have been updated in the new test release,
to work with 2.5.2.0 !
Experience:
==========
Linux 2.4.1, XFree86 4.0.2, kde 2.1 beta2:
Command-Line JDK (1.1-1.3, sun, blackdown, ibm(no jawt)): OK !
Indirect DRI (Mesa-Soft 3.3): OK
NVidia 0.96: OK
See NVidia notes below !
Netscape + Netscape JVM: ERROR !
does not work, because Netscape's JVM
implementation on linux looks like
not to handle long-types within the JNI API .. ?!
Netscape + j2re-1_3_0_01: OK !
Indirect DRI (Mesa-Soft 3.3): OK
NVidia 0.96: OK
See NVidia notes below !
Konqueror (2.1 beta2):
jdk 1.3-sun: ERROR
Applet runs, but nothing is visible !
jdk 1.3-ibm (no jawt): OK !
jdk 1.3-blackdown: OK !
Indirect DRI (Mesa-Soft 3.3): OK
NVidia 0.96: OK
See NVidia notes below !
You should disable:
- show java console
- security manager (java2 itself takes care)
Win98/WinNT4.0(*):
Command-Line JDK (1.1-1.3, sun): OK !
Well, you have to start the java.exe from the
<jdk-path>/jre/bin/java.exe
Otherwise, the jawt.dll is not found !! BUG in JDK !!
IExplorer + MS-JVM buil 3802: OK !
JDirect usage ..
JRE 1.3* Plugin + ( IExplorer | Netscape ) OK !
Netscape + Netscape JVM OK !
(*) WinNT 4.0:
On my system (servicepack6, nvidia detonator3),
i cannot restart the applet !
An read access to adress 0x000000 occures right from
NVidia's OGL implementation !!
Looks like another bug within NVidia ?
See NVidia notes below !
Well, Win98 runs fine
NVidia Driver Note's:
====================
The Linux >= 0.9-769 driver works ok !
kind regards, sven
