Downloading and installing JOGL
Before you can build a project that uses JOGL in your IDE or on the command line, you'll need to download and install the JOGL JAR files and native libraries (.dll/.so/.dynlib files).
You have a choice of JOGL versions to download. The latest stable version is probably safer, but lags behind in features. The latest automatic build contains all checked-in code, but may be failing some tests.
Downloading the latest stable version
Go to this page and download one of these files for each platform you're developing on:
- 32-bit Windows: jogamp-windows-i586.7z
- 64-bit Windows: jogamp-windows-amd64.7z
- 32/64-bit Mac OS X: jogamp-macosx-universal.7z
- 32-bit Linux: jogamp-linux-i586.7z
- 64-bit Linux: jogamp-linux-amd64.7z
- 32-bit Solaris: jogamp-solaris-i586.7z
- 64-bit Solaris: jogamp-solaris-amd64.7z
Downloading the latest automatic build
For the latest automatic build, we have to download gluegen and jogl separately.
First, go to [https://jogamp.org/deployment/autobuilds/master/ this page and click on the most recent gluegen-b* directory. Then download one of these files for each platform you're developing on:
- 32-bit Windows: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-windows-i586.7z
- 64-bit Windows: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-windows-amd64.7z
- 32/64-bit Mac OS X: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-macosx-universal.7z
- 32-bit Linux: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-linux-i586.7z
- 64-bit Linux: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-linux-amd64.7z
- 32-bit Solaris: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-solaris-i586.7z
- 64-bit Solaris: gluegen-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-solaris-amd64.7z
Then, go to [https://jogamp.org/deployment/autobuilds/master/ this page and click on the most recent jogl-b* directory. Then download one of these files for each platform you're developing on:
- 32-bit Windows: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-windows-i586.7z
- 64-bit Windows: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-windows-amd64.7z
- 32/64-bit Mac OS X: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-macosx-universal.7z
- 32-bit Linux: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-linux-i586.7z
- 64-bit Linux: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-linux-amd64.7z
- 32-bit Solaris: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-solaris-i586.7z
- 64-bit Solaris: jogl-2.0-bvvv-20yymmdd-solaris-amd64.7z
Note that these automatic builds may not have passed all the regression tests. You can check the build server to see the test results for the automatic builds and make sure you're not downloading a broken build.
Unzipping the files
Unzip all the downloaded files with 7zip. An unzipped file has these general contents
<archive>/ <archive>/jar/ <archive>/lib/ <archive>/<module>-java-src.zip*
Now you may copy the required JARs out of each jar folder and the native libraries out of each lib folder.
More information
JogAmp follows a release scheme, which describes the following locations to download the 7z archives from:
JOGL Deployment describes the content of the 7z archive files.
These installations contain all of JOGL. If you want to remove parts you don't use, see JOGL Deployment for more information.
