Hey all!

I've been trying out some of the examples in XIN and seem to have reached a problem -- example 5 does not work for me. When creating a ResourceLocator, does one need to specify an absolute path, or a relative one? Where should the resources/ directory be placed? I've been placing it within the src/ directory of my project.

On running, at times I get a white cube (no texture applied to it), and at times an exception is thrown and the JVM killed. Here's a stacktrace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
   at Test.createScene(Test.java:99)
   at Test.<init>(Test.java:59)
   at Test.main(Test.java:137)

Apparently the problem lies with this line:

Texture tex1 = ResourceBag.getInstance().getTexture(RES_TEX1);

A NullPointerException is thrown. (I'm sure the file pointed to by RES_TEX1 exists)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

J.P.

Are you using the code from XIN, or a modified version? If so, would you mind posting that as well?

Thanks!

It doesn't matter, whether you specify relative or absolute paths. The URL just needs to point to valid a folder.

I suggest to checkout the xith-tk project. It includes the xin examples and they run out of the box in that project.

Cheers Marvin, got it working after looking through a few examples in xith-tk!
