Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)

[ctrueden]

Several people have now reported the following error:

org.scijava.java3d.IllegalRenderingStateException: Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)
    at org.scijava.java3d.JoglPipeline.setupCanvasProperties(JoglPipeline.java:8083)
    at org.scijava.java3d.JoglPipeline.createNewContext(JoglPipeline.java:6440)

    at org.scijava.java3d.Canvas3D.createNewContext(Canvas3D.java:2376)
    at org.scijava.java3d.Renderer.doWork(Renderer.java:881)
    at org.scijava.java3d.J3dThread.run(J3dThread.java:271)

These reports indicate new systems with new high-quality graphics cards, so it seems unlikely that the version of OpenGL is actually that old. Need to investigate...

For those who stumble across this issue: could you please comment here with your system configuration? In particular, OS version, Java version, and which graphics card you have? Maybe a pattern will emerge which helps us troubleshoot somehow.

Here is the debug info for my windows 10 machine, on which I have this bug (to reproduce, open the flybrain.tif example, run the 3D viewer):

A side note: for debugging on of my plugin in Eclipse (MaMuT), I downloaded the jogl and jocl files from the jogl website and have the Eclipse launcher use them. This bug does not happen.

Which version? Same as what ships with Fiji? Or newer?

[tinevez]

I followed these instructions:
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_a_JogAmp_project_in_your_favorite_IDE#Eclipse_IDE_user_library

So the version I downloaded was this one:
http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/archive/jogamp-all-platforms.7z

• the current one.

[ctrueden]

OK, I downloaded it, just to check, and it is 2.3.2. The same version we ship with Fiji. 😕

[tinevez]

But:

It works from Eclipse, but not from Fiji.

[ctrueden]

Can you diff the output of the "System Information" command to see what the differences are?

Same problem with the 3D viewer as soon as I use Fiji with Java 8 (see settings below).
The error message is the same as above (but could it be that the actual problem is the OpenCL not OpenGL???)

There is some upstream discussion of this issue; see:

• https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1201
• http://forum.jogamp.org/Java-3D-crash-or-flickering-tp4035074p4036744.html

For those affected by this bug: a developer on the JogAmp Java 3D forum posted the following suggestion:

Please run this program and post the result here.

You may have to add jogamp.org to the exception list to run it.

I did not run it (I do not have an affected system), but if anyone else has a few spare minutes to try, it might be helpful!

[ctrueden]

There is a hack you can now try, to see whether it fixes the issue on your system:

• Download it here.
• Rename your old jars/j3dcore-1.6.0-scijava-2.jar to jars/j3dcore-1.6.0-scijava-2.jar.bak.
• Drop the newly downloaded JAR into the jars folder.
• Restart ImageJ and try the 3D Viewer.

I tested this on a Windows 10 VM which suffers from this problem, and received the following (slightly different than before!) error:
