gouessej. I'm currently indeed using gl.glGetString(GL.GL_VERSION). The downside of this approach seems to be that I first need to create the glContext, which takes about a second.

Sven, let's say that only GL2 is available. Would I be able to tell from this profile which specific (sub)version is available? Namely, we require at least version 1.5.
