Created attachment 305 [details] etc\test.bat and etc\test_dbg.bat Can't create a opengl4 or opengl3 context, only 2 works for more information see this forum thread and attachments: http://forum.jogamp.org/can-t-create-GL3-and-GL4-context-td3607097.html System: Dell XPS L502X (Laptop) Windows Ultimate 64Bit i7-2620M @2.7GHz 8GB DDR3 RAM Nvidia GT540M <- Mobility Version!
I assume the confusion is that instead of using the Nvidia GT540M GPU, you have used the Intel build-in GPU, see below. I don't know how you switch over to the powerful GPU .. well. +++ The Intel driver you use is capable of OpenGL 3.0 only: GL_VENDOR Intel GL_VERSION 3.0.0 - Build 8.15.10.2342 JOGL maps OpenGL 3.0 to GL2: GL2 true[3.0 (compatibility profile, any, new)] The GLVersion JOGL dumps is explained in detail here: <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/javax/media/opengl/GLContext.html#getGLVersion%28%29> The OpenGL inclusion criteria and why OpenGL 3.0 is 'only' GL2 is described here: <http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/overview-summary.html#GLAPIInclusionCriteria> In short, the GL3 Profile 'world' actually start with OpenGL 3.1, see OpenGL 3.0 as premature release which didn't introduce the new native ARB Context semantics etc. So, it's not a bug - it's a feature. +++
