NewtCanvasAWT and Java7's JLayer

Hello all,

I'm using an external lib and its perf has really increase since it uses Newt's NewtCanvasAWT. That's the good part :)
But the 3D component was previously wrapped in a Java7's JLayer ( https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/swing/JLayer.html ) that allowed me to overlay a mouse clic detection layer.
Since the switch to NewtCanvasAWT, it seems that JLayer is ineffective:
- when the JLayer draws something it is not rendered (in fact it is rendered below the content of the NewtCanvasAWT)
- the JLayer does not receives the mouse events as before (this is my main concern right now)

Is anybody aware of this problem and has any solution ? Does using another layering option (glasspane ???) would help ?

Note: I am aware that I can catch mouse events inside NewtCanvasAWT and propagate it somewhere else but my whole architecture was based on my low components not knowing about those mouse interactions...

Hi

We weren't aware of this problem, please fill a bug report.

Thanks, I've reported the bug upstream (ie the library that I use) and they should take care of reporting it to you if it is effectively a JOGL bug. Thanks !

Which library do you use? Maybe Jzy3D.

The library is FEI's Openinventor in java version.
As my company pays for support, I hope they will report the bug correctly upstream (if proven a real bug).
