After looking a bit more into it, I think that it will be easier to just 
start our own implementation.

I'm going to look into it. No promises and certainly no timeline.

1) Has anybody here some opengl experience and would like to help with 
it ? I'm mainly thinking about stuff like opengl versus multiple 
rendering contextes(sp?), render-to-texture and most important, opengl 
integration with window system (win32 and X for now)

2) Does anybody _really_ understand java.awt.image ? I'm mainly talking 
about Raster stuff and color models (implementation, not just idea).

3) I'm really worried about gtk integration. I suppose that making swing 
 to run on top of OpenGL Graphics2D Frame would be easier that really 
integrating everything inside heavyweight gtk components. I hope that 
somebody can prove me wrong :) Anyway, this is a sure way to get into 
pesky portability problems. I would like to get graphics running at 
least at windows and linux.
