Hi Mauro, thanks for your quick reply!

This method is called internally by the toolkit and should not be called
directly by programs.
What are You trying to do, exactly?
I'm writing a small software visualization tool as an eclipse plugin.
For the rendering, I want to use JMonkeyEngine3 which is a renowned framework for writing opengl apps in java.
Unfortunately JME3 has no support for SWT's GLCanvas, therefore I'm trying to implement it myself.
The framework supports rendering in a AWT canvas. What I'm doing is taking that code and adapt it to GLCanvas.
JME3 kicks off a separate thread dedicated to the rendering; they use addNotify() in order to start rendering
only when the canvas has become visible.
I need the counterpart of addNotify() in order to start rendering only when GLCanvas is visible (and the opengl context is therefore ready).

Did You try yo use SWT-AWT bridge, for a starter?
I'd prefer not to because, at least for the first version, my target platform is OSX and I read that some issues can arise when using SWT-AWT on OSX
