- fixermark 12y agoI don't develop in Java (outside of Android); I'm afraid I'd need you to clarify what you mean to answer the question. Are you referring to JNI?
- scott_karana 12y agoJava is actually cross-platform. OpenGL is just an API. OpenGL extensions are typically optional parts of the spec, available on a per-implementation basis, and are not pluggable: you're at the mercy of the vendors, assuming your target audience even has up-to-date drivers at all. Compare the following: Java class works on JVM on Windows, Linux, OS X... vs OpenGL implementation for Intel HDs on Windows OpenGL for Radeons on Windows OpenGL for Geforces on Windows OpenGL for Intel HD on OS X OpenGL for Radeon on OS X OpenGL for Geforce on OS X Now add Linux and various API-levels of Android to the mix and cry if any single one of these permutations is missing the extension you want.
