Hi

I'm against such a proposal as anybody can use its own math library currently. Adding high-level features to a quite low-level API is a bad idea because when some people use it with a very high-level engine with its own high-level features doing the same thing, you will have to store data in both formats or tinker a lot to use a single one.

Please add proper features in proper APIs to keep a design organized by layers.

Finally, I don't use vecmath, I use its Ardor3D equivalent and Xith3D programmers use another one. I have never asked Sven to put any of them into JOGL.

John, if you need something high-level based on JOGL, look at jzy3d or at a 3D engine like Ardor3D.
