The graphics card on the mac pro from 2008 is a Radeon 2600 XT supporting opengl 3.2 but not 3.3
Therefore the incompatibility is currently not properly detected, because GLProfiles in jogamp do not distinguish between 3.3 and 3.2

It also crashes on my new-ish iMac with graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6970M. Full hardware description:

Previous two posts were carried out with slightly old jReality version. My apologies. After updating to latest jReality jni and libs, the failure on the MacBook Pro remains the same (see previous post), and on the iMac the exception is detected and the following is printed:

Which versions of Mac OS are you using?

10.7.4 on the macbook pro, 10.6.x on the iMac.

If you run the newest version of jogl3 it should give you a line of output showing all the available openGL versions on your machine.
OpenGl 3.3 should definitely be available on both your recent macs though.

With the latest jogl3 source from jreality svn, I get following printout when I run jrviewer on my macbook pro:

On the following website someone has complained about Mountain Lion not supporting openGl 4, even though the underlying hardware surely does:
h++p://renderingpipeline.com/2012/06/mac-opengl-capabilities/

Let's hope that Apple releases openGL3.3 capable drivers soon.

Ok, plan for a fix is simple: Change glsl shader versions all from 3.30 to 1.50 (which corresponds then to openGL 3.2).
However maybe glVertexAttribDivisor() is not available in openGL 3.2 on Macs, so we would have to avoid it if 3.2 but not 3.3 is detected.

fixed :D
mac doesn't complain about GLSL 3.30, nor about glVertexAttribDivisor() (instancing).
However we shall not mix GL2 and GL3, as there is no GL3bc backwards compatibility profile.
