Newbie Question

[hsvmoon]

I followed the NetBeans setup guide for Mac OS X (PPC). Everything seems to work (except for WorldWindowGLJPanel known issue), but I get the below screen. Any ideas what is wrong?

Dual core processor with one of them on strike ? :p
Does the webstart version (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/index.html) do the same ?

[hsvmoon]

The webstart demo works perfectly on my system. Below is the important part of the code. The main method justs calls the constructor and then sets the frame visible.

package com.aptresearch.safeearth.gui;

import gov.nasa.worldwind.AVKey;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.Model;
import gov.nasa.worldwind.WorldWind;

/**

*/
public class MainGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame
{

/** Creates new form MainGUI */
public MainGUI()
{
initComponents();

Model m = (Model) WorldWind.createConfigurationComponent(A VKey.MODEL_CLASS_NAME);
world.setModel(m);
}//end of constructor

/** This method is called from within the constructor to
* initialize the form.

setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.Win dowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
world.setRealized(false);
world.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(800, 600));
getContentPane().add(world, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);

pack();
}// </editor-fold>


// Variables declaration - do not modify
private gov.nasa.worldwind.awt.WorldWindowGLCanv as world;
// End of variables declaration

}//end of mainGUI

I tried your code and it works fine (on my windows-system)
But sometimes the same error occured in my own little programs. Is the globe always shown in this strange way?

[hsvmoon]

With the above code it happened 95% of the time. When I modifed the code to create the layers before the WorldWindow the problem seems to go away. I have seen the issue maybe one more time since then. It almost seems like a thread race condition or safety issue.

[hsvmoon]

After looking some more, I belive this to be a compatibility issue for WWJ on OS X. It seems to happen some of the time. As I make changes to the constructor the problem becomes more or less frequent.

Has anyone else tried this on OS X 10.4 for PPC?
