hey all,

I have an eclipse RCP application with JOGL. I tried to use the NEWT + NewtSWTCanvas but I had the problem that it somehow blocks the SWT Dispatch thread.

To be more precise:

During rendering I do schedule some Display.asyncExec tasks, but they are never executed. However if I switch to a non NEWT window, all tasks are executes. So the NEWT windows blocks somehow the SWT Dispatch thread.

tested with 2.0-rc11
Win7-64Bit

What can I do?
