It would appear the bug report (460) has been closed with a fix.

However I can't make it work even with recent builds (such as RC2 and build 341). The only post contains "SCM refs", which I have no idea  how they are supposed to help me.

Or am I missing something?

I will try to use an alternate strategy to try to fetch basic OpenGL info, such as creating a unused AWT windows to jump-start a correct OpenGL context, then extracting info from it.

Basically, what I am trying to do is EXACTLY what the quick info application does, but with an AWT library instead of a NEWT one. I just can't get anything to work without NPEs being thrown all over the place.
