Can I ask how the OpenGL binding is done here (if anyone knows)? The ones I've seen rely on Sun's horrible AWT native interface (the one we have to reverse-engineer), and I'd be interested to know if there's an alternative way of achieving this. At a guess, I'd say it's just managed by SDL? As part of a course on 3D graphics I did, the lecturer supplied his own OpenGL binding and it must be one of the worst abominations I've ever seen. Not only did it rely on Sun's AWT interface to operate, he only provided the native code in binary Windows DLL form. Suffice to say, it was easier to write the code in C/C++, and ironically, ended up being more portable.
