Hi

The JME 3 method is a lot more limited than my deallocation helper, it only treats some easy cases and it supports only Oracle Java, OpenJDK and Android DVM / ART. I suggested you to look at its source code as its license is more permissive than the one I use. This kind of code is difficult to maintain, it can break and it can even cause JVM crashes, it shouldn't be put into GLBuffers.

I don't want to start a debate about licenses but if I explain in details what I spent several months to study, I'll allow you to "privatize" this knowledge whereas the use of the GPL is intended to prevent that. I contribute to numerous projects with various licenses even though I have a strong preference for the GPL and I'd be glad not to be criticized by the developers who prefer more permissive licenses. Using the GPL isn't a pity, it's my choice, I respect yours and I'm open minded enough to give you some other sources of inspiration even though I have never seen a "better" deallocation helper than mine.
