yep, that what gl4java allready used=20
=2E. with my c2J compiler running the mesa gl headers.

=2E. like gl4java.

but because i do not like c2j a lot, and kbrussel either i guess ;-),
another implementation is being used here ?

where is jogl .. jungle ?

<snip>

ok sounds very nice

being a bit blind .. not looking for any news,
i read the gl4java2 approach and created an own proposal Jungle3D.

so .. this is not ment to be an offense ;-)

so .. where are you .. may we all should join in ?

i guess this (new) projects does has an proper (L)GPL license ?

thanx in advance ..

cheers, sven
