Sweet.

Use GL2ES2, check our OpenGL UML diagram on the jogamp homepage
and see the many unit tests (*GearsES2* etc).

Using a common profile like GL2ES2 allows you to run your stuff on desktop
and mobile w/o any change, if toolkit is provided.
Due to the latter - I also strongly recommend to walk the NEWT path .. well :)
[Since we support NEWT on desktop and mobile.]

Nope.

The special thread dispatch is done in the AWT toolkit's GLCanvas
just to serve constraints of those .. it's not a constrain of JOGL.
