[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT_AWT/OpenGL pb on MAC os

[Ric Wright <riwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

Laurent-

Saw your post on the news group and wondered if you would mind a question. A
while ago I did some experimenting with the new OpenGL SWT support in
Eclipse.  I got it to work in a view and it worked pretty well. But then I
ran into a wall when I realized that the SWT support was incomplete.  No
text support for example.

I dropped it for a while. But I had a little spare time recently and started
looking at JOGL.  This seems more complete, but is unfortunately based on
AWT.  

What are you using?  JOGL? Or?  What has your experience been?

TIA,
Ric Wright
