The latest versions of JOGL's Java3D fail on Java 8

982319

I am still using JOGL's Java3D while JavaFX3D comes of age - far too much still does not work!!

I have been using Java3D 1.5.1 which still works fine.

I have downloaded Java3D 1.6.0_Pre9. This works with b69 but fails with b129 and 1,8,0_20-ea-b05.

I wondered if anyone knows what might have changed to cause the following

3D [dev] 1.6.0-pre9-daily-experimental daily

Jogl and Java3D has their own homepage with forums.

JOGL - Java Binding for the OpenGL API

Ask there but I know Jogl doesn't work well with JavaFX and maybe that has something to do with your problem.

I understand this is the wrong forum but I will put the answer here for completeness.

The problem was solved, as suggested, by using the correct jar files.

I have now got the latest version of Java3D (1.6.0_Pre9) and jogl (2.1.5) working

on a Windows XP 32 bit system and a Windows XP 64 bit system.

Plus the 64 bit system works with both Java/Eclipse 32 bit and Java/Eclipse 64 bit.

To get my test programs working I needed to point Eclipse at the following jar files

JOGL

gluegen-rt.jar

jogl-all.jar

Java3D

j3dcore.jar

j3dutils.jar

vecmath.jar

All my problems after this were caused by what was in my PATH environmental variable -

old jogl dll files and a version of libEGL.dll. Once these were clean up every thing worked.

I can run Java3D programs and I have run several OpenGL Java examples including the

Gears example.

Many regards and thanks
