[gl4java-usergroup] strange problem

[Martin G. <mg...@gm...>]

Hi,

I found a strange problem with gl4java. I use this function call to load the
native libraries:

  GLContext.doLoadNativeLibraries (null, null, null);

It seems like before executing this, I must do something, no matter what it
is, that has to do with AWT. At least that's how it looks. I only did two
tests (I know that's not very much), but these things should not have
anything to do with gl4java:

- it worked if I create and forget an AWT frame with the line "new Frame();"
- it worked if I call an empty(!) static function of a subclass of the
'Applet' class

Otherwise, gl4java prints the following error message several times:

  GL4Java ERROR: openOpen could not lock JAWT reference!
  could not open a GL widget -- GL CONTEXT
  can't create a GL context

Any idea what could be wrong?
