Hi Kevin, I know nothing about Java/JNI so can't comment on the specifics, but in general I'd suggest that you could use the osgViewer::GraphicsWindowEmbedded functionality that enables the standard osgViewer::Viewer/CompositeViewer to handle a single window without doing any of its own windows/wgl/glx calls - leaving these entirely up to the calling application. For examples of this in action have a look at the osgviewerSDL and osgviewerGLUT examples that come as part of the OSG's example set. Such a embedded window is fine for most apps that just require a single window and single threading of the viewer, but isn't a scalable as the native OSG windowing implementations.
Another route might be to try and get the underlying window handle of a window created by java and then pass this to osgViewer::GraphicsWindowWin32/X11 using it's support for inheriting windows and adding it's own graphics context. This approach is the most flexible w.r.t the OSG as it enables the OSG to handle threading and multiple graphics contexts directly. Robert.
