i aggree, but it is "bad publicity" to have something "broken" (from the 
perspective of the user). 
In the case there is no way around all those library problems, i think it 
would be really nice if we could test (from within gEclipse and the 
worldwind plugin) if the computer has a working video/opengl/3D/whatever 
support and only then activate the plugin, and inform the user otherwise.
Easy to say, right?  ;-)
