A while ago, yes. AFAIK I did this on your bug report about the GLCanvas lifecycle,
ie. remove/add the GLCanvas to Frames.

Sadly no. However, some people did try or started this task
but I never got a 'success' message and the pull request in this regard.

headless -> no AWT - this implies NEWT ?

great. so the android Ardor3d will be possible.

Can I vote for git ? :)
Don't the Ardor3D guys use git as well these days ? Sorry, don't know.
Well .. sure, there is always the svn-git bridge.

Removing the extension suffix is done for subsumed extensions into GL profiles/versions.
So the not yet subsumed extensions are still visible in their namespace.
I know, especially the old shader program ARB extension seem to be duplicated,
however, the extension is not 100% compatible w/ the OpenGL 2.0 GLSL,
hence the duplication of that one (if you refer to tha).

Sweet.

Can you re-introduce me to him so the three of us can have
a discussion about NEWT, mobile and future JOGL support ?
I really would appreciate that .. if there is an interest.

Thank you Julien for your great work.

Cheers, Sven
