Hi

That would be great .. if we can move those queries to JOGL's initialization,
I guess we even could change GLProfile/GLDrawableFactory in a way to accept
a custom GLRunnable, which then would perform the custom query
while performing JOGL's default initialization.

I like your idea. In my humble opinion, JOGL shouldn't contain a data type to represent the capabilities, this is rather the job of an engine but your suggestion would be useful for several kinds of operations. I could use it in Ardor3D too, to give access to the capabilities very early without having to create (explicitly) a window.

In my humble opinion, we should have a clear separation of concerns, JOGL shouldn't manage too much things, nothing prevents us from moving some utilities into a separate subproject.
