In order to make my software work with webswing I need to use GLCanvas / GLPanel as webswing doesn't like heavyweight components. I'm really struggling trying to understand how to implement this.

Right now I have a JDialog with a Canvas3D as a child and all my code uses Java3D. I think I need to change the Canvas3D to a GLCanvas? But clearly it's not that simple as things like SimpleUniverse and PickCanvas which take a Canvas3D in their constuctors won't take a GLCanvas.

I think there is something fundamental about Java3D / Jogamp and JOGL I'm failing to understand. Do need to bin my Java3D code and convert it all to JOGL equivalents?
