Porting (open source) modules to JOGL2 - Support Offer

To whom it may concern,
this is an offer to help porting your open source project to the new JOGL version 2.

Especially in case a project supports the old JOGL version 1,
I am happy to offer support for such porting efforts,
iff the new JOGL 2.* port:
  - will end up in your repository
  - will be maintained

The goal is to allow our common users and developer to use the latest
version of our projects, while being able to support them.
 
Dear project maintainer, pls contact me directly
        sgothel <at> jausoft <dot> com
or reply to this post here on the forum.

Pls forward this offer to the respective project maintainer.

Kind regards, Sven

Hello Sven,

The Processing project (http://processing.org/) is moving to JOGL 2! I'm currently developing the new OpenGL renderer in Processing, and am using JOGL 2 rc2. I tried to update to rc3 a few weeks ago, but I encountered some problems (the context initialization would crash, while it worked fine with rc2). I'm sure that I overlooked some recent change in JOGL, but now got quite busy with some heavy refactoring in the Processing renderer itself. I will give the update another try in the coming weeks, and will let you know if I find problems.

Thanks for your great work!

Andres

It is a very nice piece of news. Please try the release candidate 4 and maybe the latest development build to check if your problem is reproducible.

Ok, I will keep you posted on the update issues.

Quick question: how close do you think you are to the final 2.0 release of JOGL?

Sven is the best person to answer your question. I don't know the real state of the graph package and most of the job has been done concerning Maven 2 integration. I don't feel very comfortable with Maven. Sven only spoke about the next release candidate (RC 5) and it might become the next stable release. Sven is the most important contributor, it mainly depends on him.

My goal is to have it stable for all platforms incl. Android for 2.0.
I know .. somehow perfectionism :)

Besides the maven2 feature and Android cleanup, we have a few 'silly' bugs to kill.

GLProfile's initSingleton()/shutdown() ie JOGL's lifecycle is in review for stability as well.

However .. there will be no huge changes until 2.0.
