First, because the project isn't in the Central Repository yet, Maven needs to be told to look at http://www.jogamp.org. Edit ~/.m2/settings.xml: jogamp true jogamp-remote jogamp test mirror http://www.jogamp.org/deployment/maven/ default Then, run: $ mvn clean test It should download all of the required packages (which may be quite a few if you've not run Maven before) and then compile and run the included test program.
