Lwjgl 2.9.0 is out, please test nightly!

Development

Hey monkeys,

lwjgl 2.9.0 is out, promising to solve many of our current issues. Mainly the engine and SDK now work on OSX/Java7 and there should be less “strange” issues with the SDK especially when running other OpenGL applications alongside of it. Also the applet support should be more stable on OSX and generally on all platforms.

A build with the latest lwjgl version is running as I write this so all who don’t have to maintain stability for a project in their local build setup are very welcome to test the nightly and check the stability of the SDK and engine.

Cheers,
Normen

Just a quick test confirms it works on OS X 10.8.3 with java

java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)

Both the SDK and projects run =)

Bye bye java6!

I get this error when testing 3089 on Windows, 64-bit:

The console log shows:

Seems to work good on MacOSX & Linux (both 64-bit).

I wonder if this one is related to the hardware skinning changes.

no, no, that's what you have to do.

I just hope a re-install will fix it because I’m out of options :frowning:

ok cool, i’m using Java 6 if that helps

Since I’m crazy, I ripped out all references to the standard Unshaded.j3md shader & wrote my own, simplified one without the hardware skinning stuff. I even had to modify the BitmapFontLoader to use my SimpleUnshaded shader instead of the Unshaded.j3md, and now Windows 64 works for me :stuck_out_tongue: Anyway, looks like that was the culprit.

EDIT: Just references that I was using, not throughout all of jME3 :stuck_out_tongue:
DOUBLE EDIT: I’m using Java 7

If there is any problem I haven’t seen it.

Win7 x64 + Java 7.

Ah the correlation becomes clear now, it appears to only work for cool people out the box

So glad they finally released a new version to fix it. I learned that jme + lwjgl didn’t work on osx + java7 the hard way. Thanks normen!
