OpenGL ES and jME

Howdy,



During my lunch time surfing today, I’ve been doing a little research on OpenGL ES (http://www.khronos.org/opengles/index.html).



It seems to me, after discovering this JSR, (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=239), that it might be possible to run jME on top of this thing. Maybe jME lite?



Any thoughts?



Has anyone else researched this?

Actually, I have been thinking of this. LWJGL is planning on supporting OpenGL ES, which should mean we wouldn’t have to do anything. But either way, I’d love to work with ES.


What is the current thinking about getting JME to run on top of OpenGL ES?  Did LWJGL ever get ported to OpenGL ES?
Also, does JME support JOGL? If so, it could potentially be subsetted to run on top of JSR 239.

Maybe we should just wait for the better phones of the future that can run regular old java :wink:

The next cut of the phone hardware will support 2d and 3d acceleration.  It's Linux based and totally open.  Would be a great platform to offer up jME for use with to help design some cool apps/interfaces.  Imagine a true 3D GUI on your phone.

Well, I doubt it'll run FULL Java, but, it's at least decently spec'd and open.

It is quite a pain in the ass to work with pure jme.

I worked a little with http://www.j2mepolish.org but it shows the limitations of jme as it is quite device depndend what is supported and what not.

I agree with with renanse.

If there is not a verrrry good reason then I will wait until cellphones can run a real jdk (and by looking at blackberries, iphone,… I don't think we are far from that)

you meant j2me, right :)

Which is changed to only JME since Java 5… And that has caused a lot of confusion to people I talk about JMonkey as JME… They always ask: Is it an engine for cell phones? Argh, I hate ignorance…

:-o uh, didn't know that… they can do that! :x

I thought it changed to JavaME, which I guess if you're being extra lazy you might abbreviate further to JME  :expressionless:

The devs once told me that whenever there was ambiguity about j2me and jme, I should tsk a lot…  :wink: Now it is officially closer… I just hope the naming clash would not affect the community.
