[gameprogrammer] Re: JOGL - Trouble getting started...

I always have this problem with Eclipse. I alway unzip the jar into a new subdirectory called jogl off of the main project dir (so you've got ./project/jogl/net/java/etc...). Then refresh your projct, go into Project properties, select Java Build Path, Libraries, and click on Add Class Folder, and just tick the new subdirectory you created.

(I know the whole idea of JAR's is to keep everything in one place, but I never get on with them, and I find them miles easier to use once they are unzipped. If you then use multiple JAR's in a project, you can just stick them all in one subdir and just specifiy that dir in the -classpath option.)

Good luck, and I'd really like to see what you write. I use JOGL all the time (http://www.carlylesmith.karoo.net/lazersquad3d) but I'm sure I could learn a thing or two.

Hey folks - I'm trying to get started on some JOGL learning, and have run into my first roadblock before even getting so much as a Hello World up and running.
I've downloaded jogl.jar from Sun, as well as the Windows native libraries, which have been extracted into a folder within my path. Also, the jogl.jar file is in my classpath.
Now, in all of the example code I've seen, they've got the following import:
import net.java.games.jogl.*;
Problem is, Eclipse tells me quite adamantly that "Import net cannot be resolved."
I've probably missed something simple - can anybody spot my mistake?
Thanks in advance, guys!
