I've put a preview of my game up for compatibility testing: http://dev.catluck.com/launch.jnlp Thanks in advance!

Nice retro look, but some instructions would be useful.
No warnings if you have an improper version of OpenGL. Just a blank white screen with music playing.
What OS and version of OpenGL are you running, lithos?
Works fine on XP SP2, Intel Core2 6700 @2.66GHz, 2GB, Java 6 Update 11 (build 1.6.0_11-b03), GeForce 8300 GS.

Congrats!

Win XP, on an Acer netbook. So there's some OpenGL support but not much. No worries I wouldn't expect any but the oldest openGL/DirectX games to work on it.

If it's using an intel gma950, it should have the right opengl interface.

I've run into a compatibility problem on XP machines using intel GPUS . I can't even run the jogl2 demos from their main website. But, I can run the game using the same hardware on Ubuntu and MacOS X.
Launching it as an applet may fix the blank screen problem:

Worked fine for me. I adore Holst's Mars, Bringer of War, be careful of licensing restrictions though - unless you interpret it yourself based on material published way back then. Nice and simple graphics style, though I didn't see any kind of end/win condition after defeating the really big mothership at the end of the level. Did I miss something, or is it just not implemented yet?

Ubuntu 9.04
Linux v2.6.28-16-generic arch i386
JRE v1.6.0_16
OpenGL version 3.0.0 NVIDIA 180.44
Renderer: GeForce 8600 GT/PCI/SSE2
