(new to Xith, forgive the dumb questions)
I see that Xith can be used with LWJGL. Is this faster than
Jogl (Does Xith make use of vertex buffers with jogl?)?
What considerations would make one favor LWJGL instead of jogl?
Reliability, simplicity, size, and AWT dependency will influence your decision here. Speedwise, LWJGL is imperceptibly faster.
Cas 
and for the time being Mac OS X support (which lwjgl does not yet).
Will.
Did LWJGL drop Mac support? Our in-house 3D engine still uses LW 0.7, been shopping around for doing a major overhaul of it lately… either on the OpenGL layer or with a full 3D engine.
better not have that cost me cash’o’la for the lwjgl
dudes to bring us MacOSX version so look out
the mac port will start sometime this week - or at least thats when elias expects the gear to arrive
