Indeed, one of the goals of backporting the uDig rendering system to geotools is to hook into some developer effort moving in the OpenGL direction.
Background: - the Render interface is completely separated from technology back end. - We have two backend implementations right now (SWT and AWT) - in GeoTools/GeoAPI/Go-1 speak the back end would be a Canvas We are likely to have a breakout IRC meeting with Jesse, Martin, Gabriel and interested developers - we will be sure to send the time to the uDig email list for you. In addition to OpenGL, we are also very interested in reviewing the some of the ISO standards constructed around these problems. Cheers, Jody ************************************************************************** Have a look to ww2d (ww2d.org). It basically is a Nasa WorldWind portage on Java/JOGL in Open Source. So you can see how far you can improve the rendering... I am in relation with the developer and he's keen on providing GIS standard support. (WFS already supported). It is so nice that we decided to develop our GIS plugins on it (Sorry ;). You may invite Vitaliy Pronkin (ww2d developer) to the IRC as well (I don't think he is on the list), he is really experienced.
