JogAmp’s Supported Platforms

Jogamp 2.6.x runtime is supported on the described platforms below.

Please ask for contracting options to have support added for your desired platform.

Unit Testing

Thorough unit testing is performed on all our jenkins build nodes.

Bring-up Testing

Non Android

A quick bring-up testing covers gluegen, joal and jogl and is performed on non Android platforms:

#!/bin/sh

type=archive/rc
version=v2.6.0-rc-20250721
folder=${type}/${version}

mkdir ${version}
cd ${version}

curl --silent --output jogamp-fat.jar  https://jogamp.org/deployment/${folder}/fat/jogamp-fat.jar
curl --silent --output jogl-demos.jar https://jogamp.org/deployment/${folder}/fat/jogl-demos.jar
curl --silent --output jogl-fonts-p0.jar https://jogamp.org/deployment/${folder}/fat/jogl-fonts-p0.jar

echo "Fetched from ${folder} to ${version}"

java -cp jogamp-fat.jar:jogl-demos.jar com.jogamp.opengl.demos.graph.ui.UISceneDemo20

However, you can also use the locally produced fat jar file for the building platform, e.g.

cd jogl/build-x86_64/jar
java -cp jogl-fat-linux-amd64.jar:jogl-demos.jar com.jogamp.opengl.demos.graph.ui.UISceneDemo20

Android

For Android, the fat demo APK jogl-demos-fat-android-${arch}.apk inside the jogl build folder can be directly installed and tested on your device w/ developer mode enabled.
