It was all very clear. Some things I noted during the process:
- I don't see how to reach Building_JOGL_on_the_command_line and
Building_JOGL_in_Eclipse from the main wiki page. Maybe
http://jogamp.org/jogl/doc/HowToBuild.html should be updated to point to
them?
- Building_JOGL_on_the_command_line implicitly assumes that one is using
a 32bit VM and 32bit MinGW (I had a 64bit jvm)
- in "Building_JOGL_in_Eclipse/Create an SWT user library" you may want
to add the steps to link swt's javadocs (they are in
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.6.2.r362_v20110111.jar,
path within archive reference/api)

As to the SWT GLCanvas, that's extremely good news. I did investigate a
little further org.eclipse.swt, but the fix would be far from trivial
(implementing all the code for managing arb-extensions on multiple
platforms) and would duplicate funcionality already present (and
debugged) in jogl (or lwjgl).

Is there a bugzilla issue I can track to follow SWT-GLCanvas related
developments? Should I open one? ;-)
