SWT/RCP and OpenGL

Using OpenGL with SWT is really easy. I made an experimental fullscreen viewer for Sharemedia w/ LWJGL which shows a rotating picture.

Packaging LWJGL as an RCP plugin was a little more tricky, as several native libraries must be included for each platform. To do this, you have to add an OSGI header to the plugin :

Bundle-NativeCode:
jinput-dx8.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86;OpenAL32.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86

Now I just have to learn how to create reflection and nice motion effects with OpenGL :-)
