Xith rendering in a SWT Canvas?

This is my first post here, so hiya all. :slight_smile:

I’m on a quest to hunt down a decent 3d engine/scenegraph API that can be used to render into a canvas inside Eclipse view - I’m not building a game with it, but rather an admin tool with some content editing capabilities for one. (We’ve already got people building the actual game with Ogre.)

Xith is looking very promising, and I even found this thread claiming someone (tgeorge) had already integrated the two. But, I seem to be unable to actually find that branch he’s created - if someone could point me to it, or give any information regarding the status and availability, it would be greatly appreciated… I could probably hammer out my own version - though not nearly as fast as tgeorge - but would rather spend the effort on something more meaningful.

After all, tgeorge seems to have been quite silent since May. :confused:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Well, guess not. :confused:

Think I’m gonna to just check out the latest sources and start rewriting the damn thing like tgeorge did… sigh

have you tried contacting tgeorge directly?

Well, as his email address is hidden on the profile, and I though he’d see this topic as soon as a private message, I haven’t. However, you certainly got a point there, so I guess I’ll be posting a privmsg to him next. :slight_smile:

I looked into this as well, but haven’t had any time lately to pursue it. I was unable to get a response from anyone who said they were working on the problem. However, I found this online (top Google result for “opengl swt”):

You may find it useful as a starting point.

I believe LWJGL works with SWT (a third party effort).

As Xith3D now works with LWJGL you may be able to get it to work without too much hassle.
