Hi

The maintenance of JOGL 1.1 was stopped several years ago, we won't be able to help you in the parts still relying on it. The SWT_AWT bridge is buggy too, I had to do something farfetched to make it work with the debug pipeline several years ago when I worked on an Eclipse RCP application but I admit that the SWT GLCanvas and NewtCanvasSWT aren't as stable as I want. As far as I remember, it's still possible to use JOGL 2 with the bridge but maybe something has been broken in a recent version, which I can't check as I no longer use SWT & Eclipse RCP. Feel free to fill a complete bug report, provide a tiny test case.

In my humble opinion, don't even try to support Apple JVMs. You should call GLProfile.initSingleton() earlier. You can find some unit tests in the Github repository:

Good luck.
