Does this mean that I can do something along the following lines without needing to be inside one of the GLEventListener overrides or something?:

private void someMethodThatIsNotGLEventListenerDisplayOverride() {
	GL4 gl = GLContext.getGL().getGL4();
	gl.glUseProgram(...);
	// ... more arbitrary OpenGL calls, etc...
}

The following seems to be possible, at arbitrary locations and without a need to use GLEventListener:

	GL4 gl = com.jogamp.opengl.GLContext.getCurrentGL().getGL4();
	gl.glUseProgram(0);
	// ...

Please let me know if I'm running into a time-bomb waiting to go off or if this is just fine. If this is a good way to use JOGL, then it seems it might allow me to do exactly what I needed.

I'll wait for advice on this kind of use.

Thanks in advance,
