Hi,
I distribute a program package with "native packaging", which includes Java 1.8.
It works great and my thought is "never to change a running system" - I tried some time ago to switch to a newer Java version - but I kept running into different kinds of trouble ... so I concluded I would use 1.8 till ... well forever for that software.

Due to Java being to OS indepeneded (haha) - I support Windows, OSX, Linux etc.

With the latest Mac OSX version (Ventura), the usage of JOGL (my old JOGL version that is) is not possible any longer.

I read up on the trouble and it seems to be fixed in the current JOGL versions - but I discovered these need at least JAVA 11 - otherwise the Java Compiler will not even run!

Question:
Is there a downloadable version of the current JOGL implementation based on Java 8?

If not:

Would it be possible to build such a version using an old JDK - or does it use features of newer Java versions?

Thx
Malban
