the GLAutoDrawable/GLEventListener 'assisted' API model,
but can also use the GLDrawableFactory to create a GLDrawable
instance and create the GLContext manually.
I would not recommend this path, since it requires detail knowledge
about the OpenGL and windowing system lifecycle.
All of the latter is handled when using the 'assisted' API model.
This is sort of unrelated to your question, but I wanted to mention it.
