Hi Rob,

I have no problem commenting, though since I'm doing my best to try to help Sven, Michael and the gang with JOGL 2, I'm probably not objective

I think the decision about when to switch to JOGL 2 depends on what your requirements are. If you are an individual hobbyist or student, you should switch right now  And if your customers are all using relatively new computers, or if they are internal corporate customers using a well-defined set of computer types, you can probably switch now without encountering undue problems.

I think the only reason not to switch now would be if your user base includes lots of older (pre OGL 3) computers. I've seen some bugginess on those sorts of machines, and that's what I'm trying to help fix at the moment.

As far as missing features, one of the other guys may be more qualified to comment. But since JOGL 2 started out from the JOGL 1 code base, I don't think it's really missing anything that JOGL 1 had (except for a Solaris release).
