I have to respectfully differ with Julien's viewpoint
He is a strong advocate for JOGL 2, and a great coder, but I think he may be using more advanced OpenGL features than business and scientific users do.
We've used "pure" SWT in Eclipse RCP applications at work for many years, and never had a problem we couldn't overcome (in JOGL 1.1.1a). The SWT GLCanvas may have bugs with JOGL 2 features like shaders, but I haven't seen an example of that yet.
If we want to entice people to switch from JOGL 1.1.1a to JOGL 2, I think the best way is for JOGL 2 to work perfectly in SWT and AWT with the existing canvases. That way existing JOGL users can make the minimum possible modifications to their programs to take advantage of the new OpenGL 2.0 & 3.0 features.
