SWT/RCP and OpenGL

April 23rd, 2007

Using OpenGL with SWT is really easy. I made an experimental fullscreen viewer for Sharemedia w/ LWJGL which shows a rotating picture.

Packaging LWJGL as an RCP plugin was a little more tricky, as several native libraries must be included for each platform. To do this, you have to add an OSGI header to the plugin :

Bundle-NativeCode:
jinput-dx8.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86;OpenAL32.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86

Now I just have to learn how to create reflection and nice motion effects with OpenGL :-)

Util classes for SWT

April 18th, 2007

MacBook en réparation

April 16th, 2007

Mon MacBook 13″ est en réparation pour :

  • Graveur DVD HS (ne lit plus aucun disque 2 mois après l’achat)
  • (Dé)coloration du boitier (le blanc vire au rouge). C’est un problème courant sur les premières générations et reconnu par Apple.
  • Probleme d’éclairage de l’écran, qui tremble et flash régulièrement. Probablement un cable qui commence a faiblir au niveau de la charnière ecran/clavier.

Y’a plus qu’à etre patient….

UPDATE 25/04/2007 : Rebelotte, à la récupération de ma machine le lecteur ne fonctionne toujours pas (même pas sortit du magasin). Le macbook est repartit pour un changement de carte mère. Question : les gars du SAV ont-ils testé la machine avant de me la rendre ? Il parait que oui…..

UPDATE : pour le récit complet de la réparation, consultez ce post : http://nricheton.homeip.net/?p=56
