Hi Harvey

Ardor3D allows to use AWT and NEWT, I added some high level canvases based on NewtCanvasAWT and GLWindow.

Ardor3D (<=1.0) allows to use shaders even though its architecture is not entirely shader-based unlike JMonkeyEngine 3.0. According to Renanse, Ardor3D 2.0 will only have a shader-based architecture, it won't work at all without shader support but I disagree with this choice. It is probable that we will have several working renderers like in JMonkeyEngine 3.0. This one officially requires shader support but there is still a renderer based on the fixed pipeline.
