What's holding me from

[Java Cool Dude]

sexing up LWJGL is the current non-support for buttons, panels, check boxes etc...
I'm at the moment addicted to both Xith3D and JOGL, Java3D and JOGL, and I built a little dialog box that asks the user to choose a resolution and if he would like the demo in fullscreen or not...
Too bad can't do that in LWJGL  :-/
PS: I can build such box using OpenGL itself but ....

you mean something like:

There's nothing stopping you from using AWT/Swing... you just can't use it WITH LWJGL.

Well actually I was thinking about following Prince's step in acquiring a copy of Jet and pack my applications with it

I don't see the difference between the two... regarding the dialog boxes that pop up for display properties. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

[Java Cool Dude]

Never mind I get it....

(Damn! That's one brilliant bit of animated goodness there! Please would you both get these JNLP links onto the front page somehow)

<edit> Oh yeah, back to the question... there is probably scope for a proper OpenGL widgety lib thing, but one that is somewhat better and more robust than my crap open sourced offering which I pulled out of Alien Flux. I had started on such a thing with a pluggable look & feel like Swing but it's too much work for me to do now so I've had to can it for the foreseeable future.

I'd very much like to see such a project grow to maturity though. Just remember it doesn't have to be nearly as complicated or clever as Swing - it's only a game GUI.

Doesn't work here, dies with a slightly cryptic message referencing sun/Misc/Perf  ...are you using the 1.5 performance timer without a fallback perchance?

[princec]

LWJGL 1
JOGL 0

Heheh

[Java Cool Dude]

nope I'm using the hidden timer in 1.4_2, you should be doing just fine if you got that

[Orangy Tang]

>_< 1.4.0 here, I still think you should have some kind of fallback (if only something that stickes up a sane error message).
