Question

I’ve got a sketch pulled from here:

import processing.opengl.*;

float a; 

void setup() {
  size(800, 600, OPENGL);
  fill(0, 153);
  noStroke();
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  translate(width/2, height/2);
  rotateX(a);
  rotateY(a*2);
  rect(-200, -200, 400, 400);
  rotateX(PI/2);
  rect(-200, -200, 400, 400);
  a += 0.01;
}

When I run this sketch from the Processing IDE it works fine. Trying to run it from the command-line, less so:

$ /home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/java/bin/java -classpath "/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/java/lib/rt.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/java/lib/tools.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/lib/antlr.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/lib/core.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/lib/ecj.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/lib/jna.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/lib/pde.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/libraries/opengl/library/opengl.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/libraries/opengl/library/jogl.jar:/home/blt/projects/processing-1.2.1/libraries/opengl/library/gluegen-rt.jar" processing.app.Commander --sketch="/home/blt/sketchbook/sketch_mar18a/" --output="/home/blt/sketchbook/sketch_mar18a/output" --run

Please note that at the end of the classpath there I’ve included all of the jars mentioned in libraries/opengl/library/export.txt. What am I missing?

This is a bug.
