Eclipse 4.2 problems (maybe OS X related)?

[Jens v.P.]

Hi,

has anyone of you tried to run an LWJGL based application inside Eclipse, i.e. an LWJGL based Eclipse bundle?
I'm currently working on improving the LWJGL update site and tools. In this context, I found a problem running LWJGL with Eclipse 4.2.

That is, I try to open the info view I provide with the LWJGL SDK feature. This is a simple Eclipse view part with a spinning torus. It works with
- Eclipse 3.6 32 bit
- Eclipse 3.7 64 bit
but it fails to work with
- Eclipse 4.2 64 bit (Juno)
Instead of a spinning torus (with a green background) I only see a black canvas.

Since I'm using the exactly same LWJGL version and the very same code, I assume it is an Eclipse problem. Maybe this problem is related to OS X (Mountain Lion)?

Maybe some of you could try it out? As a "bonus" you can try the latest LWJGL 2.8.5 version, bundled as a plugin. For the test, use my private temporary update site at

http://jevopi.de/updatesite/org.lwjgl

Select the SDK feature, and then open the test view (Windows / Show View / Other... / Generel / LWJGL Test View). You should see a spinning torus on green background. Does it work for you? Maybe you could also hava a look at the info view (LWJGL Information View). This should put out something like:

LWJGL feature version: 2.8.5.v20130210-2042
LWJGL version:    2.8.5 (64bit)
Java:             1.6.0_35 Apple Inc.
Platform:         macosx
Graphics card:    n.a.
Driver version:   n.a.
OpenGL driver version: 2.1 NVIDIA-8.0.61
GLU version:      1.3
GLU extensions:   GLU_EXT_nurbs_tessellator GLU_EXT_object_space_tess
Supported OpenGL versions: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1
....

(This would also test the new update site configuration ;-)

Cheers,
Jens

Sorry guys, I just tested the site myself... it doesn't work (some bundles are not unpacked). I will fix this problem in a couple of hours.

OK, I have updated the update site at

http://jevopi.de/updatesite/org.lwjgl

and now it works. Well, even the initial problem is now fixed, at least I tried that on a clean Eclispe 4.2 installation.
Still I'm curious....

Cheers,

well... installation and test view work. I already found a couple of problems I have at least tried to solve.. if anyone outthere finds other problems, just let me know.
