Parallels is NOT supported, a bug in this software prevents it from working with JOGL (and then with the JOGL pipeline of Java3D).

Thanks for that information. Nice of Parallels, huh? I'll try to dig up an old windows PC to try it on, or maybe borrow a newer one.

Do you have any idea of the nature of the bug in Parallels so that I can complain to them? If VirtualBox can do it, surely Parallels could fix their bug.

Emmanuel and me already posted on the official forum of Parallels, don't expect a bug fix. Anyway, work must pay, I don't promote commercial products for free. I advise you to use another software for the same purpose.

Also, do you know if VMWare Fusion VMs support the current JOGL?

I haven't tested with VMWare Fusion. If it succeeds, please let me know.

As for the other information, it's a one year old retina MacBook Pro with an AMD Radeon R9 M370X video card. Also has built-in Intel Iris Pro graphics. The system decides whether to use the AMD or Intel GPU. There's more information available, but I think what really matters is whatever virtual graphics card and drivers are supplied by Parallels. Supposed to be DirectX 10.

Thanks.

The mechanism similar to "The system decides whether to use the AMD or Intel GPU" (and Optimus for Nvidia) can cause some problems, especially when it's able to switch to another GPU at runtime, even without using a virtualization software.

You're welcome.
