I installed Sun’s Java in Ubuntu and then installed the Java OpenGL (Jogl) libraries. I figured I would document that here in case others find it useful.
First I followed this: The “correct way” to install Java (His words not mine).
That worked without issue. Then after installing that I figured I would try to install the Jogl libs in case the urge struck me to learn more about OpenGL programming. That was more hit and miss, most of the stuff I saw was windows related. Anyway after a little fighting…
I downloaded the latest release: Jogl Zip File
Unzip that file, and copy the jogl.jar to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/ext and the libjogl*.so files to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/ext
Not bad at all, but it took some surfing to figure it out.
