Indeed, one of the goals of backporting the uDig rendering system to 
geotools is to hook into some developer effort moving in the OpenGL 
direction.

Background:
- the Render interface is completely separated from technology back end.
- We have two backend implementations right now (SWT and AWT)
- in GeoTools/GeoAPI/Go-1 speak the back end would be a Canvas

We are likely to have a breakout IRC meeting with Jesse, Martin, Gabriel 
and interested developers - we will be sure to send the time to the uDig 
email list for you. In addition to OpenGL, we are also very interested 
in reviewing the some of the ISO standards constructed around these 
problems.

Cheers,
Jody
