I'm attempting to convert a simple collada model viewer application into an applet.
I'm currently testing with a jME 2.0 SimpleJMEApplet shell that does nothing but i get the following error:
"Error creating input provider"
This appears to be happening in the jME code after lwjgl has obtained the display. The applet is using the lwjgl applet downloader mechanism with my jme applet code as the main class. I'm running on an XP laptop with a touch pad. It occurs in all browsers.
Does anyone have experience with developing applets lately with the new lwjgl way of doing things?
did you sign the jme jars ?
no … crap, you're kidding … i assumed that for testing i didn't need to do that (that there would just be a warning message).
okay, if thats it then my bad for not reading up correctly.
Not the problem though. I have the same problem and I have signed my JARs.
I actually had a bug in my code but the exception wasn't being shown on the java console. I was trying to load a texture resource that didn't exist and it was just dieing quietly.
signing fixed my problem with the input provider.
i also hacked simpleJMEapplet and put some debug into that which helped find the problem. i found it hard to debug but by putting a call to validate() seemed to push errors up.
