Michael Bien suggested I post this question here:

I'm building a data model visualization app.  I want the app to be an OpenGL view but I'd like the app to have all the standard features that would make it a "real application", using native windows if possible.

- windowed view / fullscreen (including screen selection) / maximize (full screen without blanking other screens)
- resizable windows
- application icon / title control
- key and mouse inputs

nice to haves
- drop down menus
- multiple windows / displays

In the past i could do all of these using SWT + LWJGL.  But it seems like overkill to include SWT to get these.

On principal I'd also like to not use AWT because they are not real windows and the performance problems documented on the JOGL site.

michael says: (all features should be already in or on the immediate TODO list, the only issue i see are the drop down menus.... not implemented yet)

thanks,
christian
