Description spiraljetty 2009-02-06 23:16:59 UTC 
Not able to include external java libraries. Importing JARs results in a "broken reference" error. 


I am trying to start a new Scala project that includes the javax.media.opengl libraries. No matter what I do I get an
error saying that I need to "resolve broken references" and a red squiggly line underneath the statement "import
javax.media.opengl_".

I can import normal java libraries without a problem, but for some reason it's not letting me import libraries from a
jar file. 

I've put the jogl.jar in a "lib" directory underneath my project and have included it via the Netbeans Project
Properties-->Libraries-->Compile-->Add JAR/Folder". 

I've tried restarting, etc. But I can't do something as simple as include a JAR into my Scala project!

Comment 3 _ dcaoyuan 2009-02-06 23:45:36 UTC 
From the project.properties, your gluegen-rt.jar and jogl.jar are not under ...../ScalaApplication2/lib ?
Comment 4 _ dcaoyuan 2009-02-06 23:58:16 UTC 
Does jogl.jar also depend on other jars? scalac seems refer classes deeply, if fails, it will complain that all classes
are not resolvable.
Comment 5 spiraljetty 2009-02-07 00:14:56 UTC 
Hi, no jogl.jar and gluegen.jar do not depend on any other jars. Also, just to clarify, this is not a run-time error. I can't even get it to compile. Even simply 
adding the line "import javax.media.opengl_" is enough to break the project. To run an application using these jars you do need the native libs available. So I 
imagine that inside one of the jars there are calls to native methods. Do you want me to send you these two jars?
