It's package-private because it's only accessed within the
sun.java2d.opengl package, and in general we strive to reduce the
visibility of classes/interfaces. The concrete GLX/WGL
implementations also live in that package, so there was no reason to
make it public.
There's probably no harm in making that interface public. If you want
to submit a patch, feel free.
Thanks,

Hi all!
Is there any reason why sun.java2d.OGLGraphicsConfig is not public?
I would like to make it public so that I can have some more ways to
reuse the code in the OpenGL pipeline, for example by having an EGL
based implementation that doesn't depend on X11 at all.
Of course, I could use a sun.java2d package name but I guess it
would be nicer/more legal to have this interface public in the first
place.
The sun.java2d package is internal anyway, so compatibilty/public
API preservation should not matter here. Should I propose the patch
or just fix my package naming conventions to use sun.java2d?
Cheers,
Mario
