I wanted to find out if there is a particular reason for being so far behind.  Also, I found this post: http://forum.jogamp.org/OpenCL-1-2-td3512610.html, which suggested OpenCL 1.2 support was in progress 3 years ago, so I was wondering what happened to that progress.

The "in progress" from 3 years ago was from the previous maintainer of JOCL, who has since left the project :) I'm the new maintainer (since just a few months ago), and so far I've concentrated on getting rid of test regressions in the code which had piled up since the previous maintainer left, and fixing up the JOCL build system to match the rest of the JogAmp projects.

I've been waiting to gauge the level of interest before pushing forward aggressively with OpenCL 1.2 and 2.0 support. If I add that support, would you be an immediate customer for it, or are you just asking out of curiosity?
