# *OpenGL™ for Java™ (GL4Java)*
[Original document location](https://jogamp.org/cgit/gl4java.git/about/)
## Git Repository
This project's canonical repositories is hosted on [JogAmp](https://jogamp.org/cgit/gl4java.git/).
## Overview
The [*OpenGL™ for Java™ (GL4Java)*](https://jausoft.com/gl4java/docs/) is an OpenGL™ binding for the Java™ programming language.
*GL4Java* was developed by Sven Gothel [from March 1997](https://jausoft.com/gl4java/docs/overview/history.html)
until [March 2003](https://jogamp.org/cgit/gl4java.git/log/).
Its concepts were reused in the subsequently launched [JOGL project](https://jogamp.org/jogl/www/)
initially [lead by Sun Microsystems](https://jogamp.org/cgit/gl4java.git/about/#gluegen-joal-and-jogl-at-sun-microsystems) and later by [the JogAmp community](https://jogamp.org/),
rendering *GL4Java* effectively *JOGL's* predecessor. A few of the concepts reused were:
- C-Header Compiler to JNI glue code: C2J -> GlueGen
- AWT integration: GLCanvas, GLJPanel (swing)
- WinHandleAccess -> NativeWindow
- GLDrawableFactory, GLDrawable, GLContext, GLEvenListener
See [JogAmp History & Milestones](https://jogamp.org/cgit/jogl.git/about/#jogamp-history--milestones).

- SunOS (Sparc) 5.X
- AIX 4.2 (RS/6000)
- SGI Irix
- Misc Platforms
- Macintosh
- Windows NT 95/98 (x86) 4.0 (sun/netscape)
- Windows NT 95/98 (x86) 4.0 (msjvm/ie40)
## Concluding
May be - WE can find a way for a standard OpenGL for Java API !
As you can see, OpenGL-Rendering can be integrated in Java-Programs
very well. You can use the normal java paint and event - functions
as you used display and reshape in glut !
See also [LICENSE.txt](./LICENSE.txt) for the license of GL4Java !
