| I can't speak for the SWT_AWT bridge, but I can talk to OpenGL and SWT. In a nutshell, it works. I've been playing around with drawing in 2D using OpenGL and SWTs GLCanvas, and I've made significant progress. I started out using a combination of LWJGL and C++ and found that I only need a very thin API between Java and OpenGL, so I'm working on my own JNI code to interface to OpenGL with the bulk of the rendering done in C++. I'm currently playing around with the idea of a Canvas2D that can resize, pan, and zoom. Rendering is fast - blazingly fast - my code spends most of it's time loading and decompressing the data and almost no time rendering. If you want to give OpenGL a try, I highly recommend trying LWJGL as it's available as a bundle that you can simply drop into your target platform. Also, If you are using Eclipse 3.5, you will want to get the latest build as previous builds have a very nasty GLCanvas bug.

I have developed an extensive Java3d - Swing application that also uses Swing to display nearly 100 reports from various databases back to the user. I have only just know come across the power of various aspects of SWT and am actually willing to bit the bullet and recode everything in SWT if and only if the SWT_AWT bridge can handle a very significant Canvas3D-based window. If the SWT_AWT bridge isn't robust in handling the Canvas3D objec then the potential port is dead in the water. I really don't have the time to go down to the OpenGL level - but just out of curiousity does anyone have significant experience with one of the OpenGL ports for SWT - if so which one and how well does it work and how robust. Can anyone discuss the 3 different ports - their relative strengths and weaknesses. Any thoughts are appreciated. |
