As Justin pointed out, the problem is your code looks like this:

public SimpleScene() {
    ...
    canvas.addGLEventListener(new SimpleScene());
    ...
}

This is a recursive function call, probably not what you intended  If you do this instead, it uses the existing SimpleScene instead of creating a new one:

public SimpleScene() {
    ...
    canvas.addGLEventListener(this);
    ...
}

This is why I always suggest stepping through the code in a debugger -- often you can spot the problem in just a few moments, and save yourself the pain of editing and posting your code and hoping for people to reply
