GLEventListener.dispose() called by GLJPanel at resize?

Hi,

My GLEventListener.dispose() method makes some cleanup assuming dispose() is called only when someone close the windows.

Unless I am wrong, it seems that in JOGL2 this method is called when a GLJPanel is resized. Thus the listener continue to live, but all its content get cleared.

What is the reason for calling dispose() without really destroying the listener?

Regards,

Martin

If you like to use GLJPanel and keep the GL data, you can use an initial
[offscreen] shared GLContext. However, then you need to figure out when to
release resources of that root GLContext.
