[FIXED] Running P3D Processing sketch in JAR file, using Netbeans

Issue

I know there is a way to program with Processing P3D in an external IDE.

I have successfully been able to run 2D and P3D sketches within NetBeans IDE. But if I build the project to a JAR file with Processing P3D in my sketch, and try to run the JAR file, I get this error:

    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: C:\Users\*****\natives\windows-i586\\gluegen-rt.dll

What can I do about this in order to make a Processing P3D sketch run in a JAR file? I know it has something to do with the JOGL library Processing uses, but I don’t know how to satisfy the error.

Sketch running fine in netbeans:

Processing P3D sketch running fine in netbeans 11.2

Sketch running as JAR file in Windows Powershell... :

Solution

Ok! I figured it out! I put all of the JAR files into a folder and added them to the class-path via Ant.

Next I used ant to create a fat JAR with all of the classes in the classpath including the source code

I ran the Jar in Windows powershell, and it works perfectly!
