JogAmp JAR File Handling
Native JAR Files
See Native JAR Files explained.
Native JAR files are loaded automatically.
Applet / JNLP Usage
A short copy is included in the static page JOGL Deployment for traditional Applets.
Custom Bundling
Multi-Jar
Fat-Jar
I discourage this configuration, since such deployment removes our artifacts as stored in the jar's manifest file, which helps identifying the jogamp modules for bug reports etc.
Further more, adding all native library files for all supported platforms will add-up to +3M of _compressed_ jar data!
However, since we don't want to patronize our user base, we support this feature with our native JAR lib loading mechanism.
Usage
If the modules's jar file contains the folder 'natives/<os.and.arch>/' we assume a fat-jar and attempt to load all native libraries from the same.
If we don't have a fat-jar or if fat-jar loading doesn't result in extracted native libraries, we assume a regular slim jar file.
Layout:
/com/lala1/Lala1.class /com/lala2/Lala2.class /natives/<os.and.arch>/libLala1.so /natives/<os.and.arch>/libLala2.so
A combination w/ Multi-Jar is of course possible.
One-Jar
Eclipse
Native JAR files and their respective base JAR files can be bundled in custom ways, e.g. eclipse Jar-In-Jar etc.
Manual tested w/ Eclipse:
Preparations:
===============
1) Set up a vanilla eclipse (3.7.0) workspace
2) Add the JOGL User Library:
- Window.Preference
- Java.Build_Path.User_Libraries:
+ JOGL
+ gluegen-rt.jar
+ jogl-all.jar
+ gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar
+ jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar
You may add all other native JARs here.
Note that these are not required in the CLASSPATH by JOGL,
however, they are required by Eclipse to export your project as a Runnable JAR File.
3) New test project
- Right-click your project in the Package Explorer and click "Properties".
- Select "Java Build Path" and click the "Libraries" tab.
+ JOGL
- Add some simple code ..
- Run as Java Application ..
Test-1:
=========
Export
- Right-click your project in the Package Explorer and click "Export"
- Select Java.Runnable_JAR_file
+ Launch configuration
+ some destination path
+ Library handling:
Copy required libraries into a sub-folder next to the generated JAR
Result: Works!
./lala01.jar
./lala01_lib/jogl-all.jar
./lala01_lib/jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar
./lala01_lib/... etc ..
Test-2:
=========
Export
- Right-click your project in the Package Explorer and click "Export"
- Select Java.Runnable_JAR_file
+ Launch configuration
+ some destination path
+ Library handling:
Package required libraries into generated JAR
Result: Works!
./lala02.jar:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Rsrc-Class-Path: ./ gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar gluegen-rt.jar
jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar jogl-all.jar
Class-Path: .
Rsrc-Main-Class: Test01
