We're still using 1.1.1a at our site so it's been a while since we upgraded.  I recently started some experimental integrations of the JOGAMP JOGL distro to see what kinds of problems I could expect.  At first I tried the 2.0-rc1 release and was getting complaints and flaky behavior (windows refusing to close, seg faults, etc).  This was not encouraging, so I grabbed nightly build 300 and the situation improved dramatically.

So... the trend certainly is in the right direction, but I'm also interested in hearing observations from anybody who has been using JOGAMP's JOGL distro in fielded products.  Has it been stable?  Would you characterize it as generally "solid"?  Have you encountered any major missing or broken features that look like they'll be a while showing up?  That kind of thing.

Judging from his posts Wade Walker probably would have something to say assuming he's willing.  Anybody else?

FWIW I'm glad you guys picked up the ball and ran with it after the previous effort was abandoned, and I like where you're taking it for the most part.  I'm just trying to get a feel for how far along you are.

TIA for any feedback.
