| Short description of the software |
The JOGL project hosts the development version of the Java™ Binding for the OpenGL® API, and is designed to provide hardware-supported 3D graphics to applications written in Java. JOGL provides full access to the APIs in the OpenGL 2.0 specification as well as nearly all vendor extensions, and integrates with the AWT and Swing widget sets. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems.
Nowadays, Mandriva Linux supports OpenGL but not JOGL, it has to be installed separately. It would be easier for the users to play with full video games and small applets written with JOGL if it was already installed. The installation of JOGL through Java Web Start can take a long time. It wouldn't be necessary if JOGL was already installed. |
