Re: [sdljava-users] Using multiple contexts with gljava

[Ivan Z. G. <iva...@ya...>]

Hmm,

Its a good point.  There is nothing infact that is making gljava depend
on sdljava at the level of code.  However, having said that, currently,
you cannot obtain a GL context in any way except via the setVideoMode()
call.   Nothing is stopping someone from initializing an opengl context
on their own and then using it via gljava.

I will look into this in more detail.  I wasn't aware that 1.3 had that
capability.
