Thanks for the response.

GLProfile.getMaxFixedFunc() isn't in the JOGL jars available to applets yet:

    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.media.opengl.GLProfile.getMaxFixedFunc()Ljavax/media/opengl/GLProfile

I also tried GLProfile.getDefault(), but it only returns a 3.0 context when ran from Eclipse, where as, when I pass GLProfile.GL4bc to GLProfile.get(), I can get a 4.0 context (only when ran from Eclipse with recent JOGL jars.  In the web browser, it still creates a 3.0 context).

Perhaps there is still a bug in GL_PROFILE_LIST_ALL, as hinted in the javadoc.

Is it possible to create anything greater than a 3.0 context in an applet in a web browser at this time?  It's not a big deal if we can't, I just want to know the limitations.

Thanks for the help,
Patrick
