Hello all... first post, just started getting into working with openGL. I''ve been reading Jeff Kirby''s conversion of the NeHe tutorials, and I looked ahead a bit and noticed he stopped at around Lesson 23. Did he stop because he ran out of time to do it, or because there is a limitation in Java? It seems to be when the lessons turn towards file access, so can GL4Java not use external files? Also, some questions about GL4Java. How is the speed, really? I''ve heard the JRE has been improved a lot with 1.4. What is the speed slowdown like when you go to a browser? Has anyone been able to use formats like MD2 with it? What about input, what system does it use for if you want to avoid using DirectX?

im not sure about gl4java but i have seen an engine made with java that can load models and bsps so it is possible with java
