The jogl debug trace when GLDrawableFactory.getFactory( glprofile ).createExternalGLContext is invoked

Hello,
The example for SWT given in https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Using_JOGL_in_AWT_SWT_and_Swing
generate the following error:

libEGL warning: failed to create a pipe screen for i965
Exception in thread "main" javax.media.opengl.GLException: Intialization of GL renderer strings failed. X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0, unitID 0, handle 0x7fdd7819dbd0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x1810399e, isOwner false, <32d992b2, 215be6bb>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]] - 0.0 (Compat profile, hardware)

	at jogamp.opengl.GLDrawableFactoryImpl.createExternalGLContext(GLDrawableFactoryImpl.java:476)
	at com.eda.Main.main(Main.java:70)

As attachment you can find the debug trace from JOGL.

Environment:

Used JOGL version v2.2.4

Laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU. The internal GPU is used. There is no external GPU card available on this laptop.

OS : Ubuntu 14.04.01 with GL info:
GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
GL_VERSION    = 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3
GL_VENDOR     = Intel Open Source Technology Center

Using freeglut library examples and glxgears -info does not have problems with OpenGL initialization.

Eclipse IDE Luna 4.4 with added swt.jar, gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar, gluegen-rt.jar, jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar, jogl-all.jar, jogl.jar in the java library path.

Linux kernel : 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP 

Any help is appreciated!

The example with JOGL in AWT works fine. The warning message "libEGL warning: failed to create a pipe screen for i965" appears, but the triangle is shown.
Comment 2 Krasimir Kostadinov 2015-02-15 18:19:54 CET 
Moving creation of glprofile before setting current glcanvas like:
...
GLProfile glprofile = GLProfile.getDefault();
glcanvas.setCurrent();
...

resolve the exception when createExternalGLContext is invoked, but the screen is black and the triangle is shown at random time when window is resizing.

Adding SWT menu resolve the flickering problem:

shell.setSize( 640, 480 );
        
Menu bar = new Menu (shell, SWT.BAR);
shell.setMenuBar (bar);
MenuItem fileItem = new MenuItem (bar, SWT.CASCADE);
fileItem.setText ("&File");

final Composite composite = new Composite( shell, SWT.NONE );
composite.setLayout( new FillLayout() );

Can you provide a patch for the test files,
preferably using git?

Maybe you like to update the wiki as well,
in which case I will grant you edit permission.

Do not understand what exactly you mean "to provide a patch for the test files".
I can provide a test files or complete Eclipse project.

Yes, I would like to make an update for the wiki. Can you create an account?
