That's my point.

Just because the last release was more than a year ago doesn't mean that it is dead.  It could mean that it has finished implementing OpenGL features in Java.  It's not like they are going to add more features to it.

Cool.  Thanks for all the help.

How do you set a color with a plain-old integer?  What's all this 0x00FFFFFF and 0x4F000000 business?

What I was looking for was transparent for game menus mostly, although I could use it in applications.  While we are on the subject, could someone explain to me how to edit an image pixel-by-pixel?  I have had to resort to draw a 1 by 1 rectangle, and that likely is not very efficient.  Or is it?

Unlike most, I started in Java, and I am now trying to learn C++.  I don't plan on leaving Java completely, but knowing both would be realy useful skill in the programming industry.

Thanks.  I would have never found that on my own.

I have been looking around for a long time, but I can't seem to find out how to draw an Image semi-transparently onto a Graphics object.  Could someone help me out?  I don't mean gifs or pngs, I mean taking an image and making it all semi-transparent.

Why is there a forum for Java3D, but not for GL4Java?  There are many who use GL4Java, so it would be nice to have a forum for them.
