In the past you've had to use JOGL but soon you'll be able to use WebGL.

New Google Chrome Version

I was browsing on FileHippo & noticed there was a new version of Google Chrome. So I downloaded & decided to try it out & was happy to discover that it is now compatible with Java. If you want to see the results for yourself, try visiting the 3D Mountains Java Applet page here. Even the JOGL example which can be found here works too.

Useful Java Links

Here are some links I've put together to help if you're trying to learn Java.

• Apache Ant can be downloaded here.
• An Apache Ant tutorial can be found here.
• Jogl can be downloaded from here.
• Jogl NeHe ports can be found here.

NetBeans & JOGL

I've just downloaded the Java SE version of the NetBeans IDE from here & I also downloaded the JOGL plugin from here. The plugin comes with a lot of example programs such as those from the OpenGL redbook & several interesting examples showing you how to embed OpenGL Graphics in a form.

NetBeans Bug Feature

Have you ever had that annoying problem in NetBeans where you're compiling a program & the additional files that your project depends on don't get copied?

It happens to me quite often when I'm building a JOGL application. The program will require the JOGL dlls & JOGL jar files which can be found on my CLASSPATH & in the NetBeans libraries. But when I clean & build my app I'll get the following message.

Not copying the libraries.

This is because NetBeans will only copy jar files to the lib folder that your app depends on. If you try & copy any .dll, .so or .class files they won't get copied. You can find more information about this 'feature' at the following links, here, here & here.

DrJava IDE

Just got DrJava to compile a JOGL application in Ubuntu. So I've put a tutorial on this page of my Wikispace.
