[gl4java-usergroup] Solaris, what a pain in the...

[Mark M. <pat...@lm...>]

Little survey for all the GL4Java and/or Java3D developers...Do you develop
or deploy your apps on Solaris?

We developed our Java app on Windows using both GL4Java and Java3D in two
different windows (JDialogs). It runs like a champ on Windows, always has. It
has never run on Solaris. In fact, it didn't even run back when we were using
Magician and Java3D. Each display ran fine separately, but if both windows
were enabled at compile time (Magician and Java3D windows), then it never
ran. Now we have switched to GL4Java and reachitected, and we got it to run
for a brief period of time. Then after a few minor changes (really unrelated
to rendering), it stopped running again. In fact, we can't even get 2 GL4Java
windows to come up together in the app without an exception in native code.
We have been struggling off-and-on with Solaris for 4-5 months now. I wish I
could give a stack trace or error message here, but it changes from
run-to-run most of the time. Currently, it throws an exception originating in
glCallList and ending in native code. Has anyone else had problems like this
on Solaris?
