Following your suggestion, I tried nesting the GLCanvas inside a jawa.awt.Component and putting this into the JSplitPane. Amazingly, this works. I no longer get exceptions when resizing the views.

Please mention it in your bug report too so that we keep a track of this workaround.

I will - but I need to do some more testing (on more machines), before I am sure the exceptions are completely gone.

My only worry is, that before I could see my problems came because the OpenGL context was destroyed during the resize (dispose(GLAutoDrawable drawable) was called), and JOGL for some reason could not create a new context. Now the context is no longer called when resized, but can I be sure that the OpenGL context is not lost for other reasons?

That's a good question. The context can be destroyed when removing a GLCanvas from an AWT container.

I'll try that out, to see if I can recreate the context loses.
