EDIT: Never mind this, I figure out what I was missing (I just don't see why NetBeans didn't find the error); please excuse my n00bishness.
OK, I don't know if this should be here or in bugs, as the title suggests. I've been programming on and off for a long time, albeit as a amateur, but am a noob at game program. I've been watching and rewatching several video series (I sure with there was a book on this specifically). Both series use the method gluPerspective(float fov, float aspectRatio, float nearClip, float farClip), which I can find as general OpenGL with Google. The problem is, while it works in the video, whenever I use it NetBeans gives me an error and asks if I want to create it in the local class (apparently not finding it in lwjgl jar files, which I have imported -- 2d methods work just fine). I've done import overkill but nothing seem to work:
package community.render;
import community.*;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.lwjgl.*;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.*;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;
import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;
import org.lwjgl.input.Mouse;

...with the very last line giving the error. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
As I'm sure you've now figured out, any method starting with glu... is in LWJGL's GLU class. Any gl... is in the GLXX class, any al... is in the ALXX class etc..
I know you've figured it out, but I'm just posting the reply in case anyone searching for this problem arrives here only to find it resolved but with no answer. That can be infuriating.
