Wow that looks great.

But what about Ken Russell leaving Sun? What a loss. Apart from being a great bloke on these forums, he was the power behind the fantastic JOGL API and the new applet plugin :ā€™(

Could you clear this? Does this mean somethingā€™s are going to be cut? or take longer to do?

The sshots do look great. I hope the web render comes out soon. I would love to make a badass browser :stuck_out_tongue:

oh dear thats not good, he did some great work especially on the new applet stuff. Sad to see Sun slowly loosing its best programmers.

wheres he gone to, Adobe?

Iā€™ve always been amused by just how many times Iā€™ve stepped into the JDK source and come across something with his name in the @author tag - last time it was deep in the bowels of some reflection code, it seemā€™s heā€™s worked on everything at some point. :slight_smile:

yup, single handedly re-writing the whole applet plugin2 and being backward compatible with the horrid applet plugin1 is no small feat. As well as mostly maintaining JOGL alone too.

i have a cutout version of ken in my office, heā€™s still here with me!

well, we installed chuck norris on the build serverā€¦ (scroll down->http://jogamp.org/chuck/job/jocl/)
