Hi

However Ardor3D doesn't seem to work with the new jogl library. The canvas does not render anything and Camer.getCurrentCamera() always returns null.

Ardor3D doesn't work only in a particular case with a specific hardware. Please be accurate.

Perhaps goussej needs to update Ardor3D-Jogl project now?

I will make a pull request in a few days. I plan to call invokeAndWait() to drive the canvas visible if and only if JoglAwtCanvas.init() is not called from the AWT EDT.

Yeah, all this is due to calling 'setVisible(true)' on the GLCanvas
_not_ from the AWT-EDT.

So JOGL detects this and skips the realize call in such cases,
since it can freeze the Intel GPU on Windows - and is not proper anyways.

@Julien: A similar approach should be done in Ardor3D, IMHO. Please see the commit above.

Would my suggestion fix this bug? Does it concern NewtAWTCanvas too?
