Well we'd need 1.4 support for sure.
About gl4java updates, I personally have access to the gl4java sourcefore
CVS so I may update some code for you. But I guess Sven could register you
as a gl4java developer if you ask him.

I'd be very interested to integrate an OpenAL binding into OpenMind if it i=
s
LGPL. I'd like to review yours if you are ok.
