Hey guys, any efforts on supporting directX in JOGL ?

…
Java Open Games Library…
Its based on OpenGL (Hence the OGL at the end of JOGL), I doubt support for DX will go into JOGL, but a binding might be created by some other people in this forum (can’t find the link tho)…

Please don’t do that :o :o :o
thanks for the info, hmmm or we can find a way for Java3D to talk to JOGL ? since Java3D has DirectX support but lack of OpenGL. I am not really a favour of DirectX but just need options besides OpenGL. I do believe in open standard and got the feeling that MS going to screw up the standards again by not fully supporting OpenGL directly in their new OS. >:(

Full performance OpenGL under Windows Vista Aero - Contact your hardware and software manufacturers
For Reference, isn’t JOGL - Java bindings for OpenGL - rather than Java Open Games Library?
JOGL isn’t specifically to do with games development,
thats what makes LWJGL so much better

And all this time i thought JOGL stood for something completely different…
Java3D has both DX and OGL renderers available…I dont know where you go the information that Java3D only has DX…

Opss my mistake 
I like Jogl because of the ANTLR compare with Java3d, pretty cool feature in GlueGen, generate both Java and C JNI code from the header file.
I am looking at the shading part of both DirectX and OpenGL as well as Cg, you guys know about
I am kind of in the middle creating the Java site of the Brook and libsh, really appreciate to know anyone is working on the similiar project ?

JOGL bound to D3D would make about as much sense as Micrsoft’s annoucned intention to put a OGL wrapper on D3D-- which is to say none at all.
JOGL is thin java layer over the OGL C binding. It organizes its data in OGL ways. D3D does thinsg differently and puttign one on the other requries translation which wil lseriously slow thinsg down.
OTOH there is a guy who was asking inanother forum (General? Off Topic? One of those) if anyonbe else wanted to work on a Java binding to D3D. If you really wanted to use D3D from java that would be the way to go.
I don’t know if glugen would help you there or not, but you could look at that…
Thanks again for the responds
