NetBeans OpenGL Pack 0.5.1 released

The NetBeans OpenGL Pack 0.5.1 has been released. This is a small bugfix release with no major features added.

Changes since last release:

• updated JOGL distribution to v1.1.1rc8
• updated JOGL demos (added gears Applet demo)
• added JOGL API support module for doc and source integration
  
• webstart support for JOGL project templates (just enable it in the project properties)
• improved JOGL deployment code (fixed some issues on 64bit systems)
• bug fixes

To download the pack please visit the plugin portal page.

The OpenGL pack will be soon available via plugin portal update center (Tools | Plugins). This will make our old  "NetBeans OpenGL Pack update center" obsolete (and improve the download speed!). However, we will use the old update center for experimental not final releases in future.

As always, please use the user mailing list for feedback and the issue tracker for bug reports on the project page.

-------

Write once run everywhere [1][2][3][4][5][6] - seems like the platform agnostic JOGL deployment is working ;)

NetBeans OpenGL Pack is evolving

The NetBeans OpenGL Pack is slowly evolving to a set of useful integrated tools, demo applications and editors for Java OpenGL development.

The features currently included are:

• Editor for the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) with compiler error annotation, code folding, syntax highlighting, auto completion and documentation.
  
• Easy access to the GLSL compiler and linker of your graphics driver integrated in the editor
  
• OpenGL Capabilities Viewer
• Integration of JOGL GUI components into the Matisse GUI builder
• JOGL project templates
• Ready to run JOGL demos and examples of the OpenGL Programming Guide (also known as Red Book) 

We are currently fixing the last bugs and hope to build the first release soon. The early access version is available via Update Center in the download section of the project page.

------------
The project has also been recently mentioned in the NetBeans Magazine [issue four] covering NetBeans 6 features. Geertjan Wielenga interviewed me about the GLSL editor in the Schliemann section of the magazine.
