Hi folks,
I'm working again on implementing headless rendering support in jME for a Swing-jME integration. Non-Headless works great already except that you have the render window sitting there behind your Swing window and it just looks bad. Back in .90 LWJGL I started working on headless mode using pbuffer (similar to how GL4Java integrated OpenGL and Swing) but ran into the issue of not being able to create a pbuffer without a Display. I was told this was fixed in .92 but when I try to do something like this:
headlessDisplay = new Pbuffer(width, height, format, texture);I get an exception like this:
Quoteorg.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not create Pbuffer.

Any ideas? Looking at the native code it seems like a problem maybe with findPixelFormat since all the others throw an exception.
I don't think you'll be able to make LWJGL integration in Swing... For the moment, there's only a SWT binding around the web...
How, also, to instead of using PBuffer, you should look into the Display.setContext() method, it could help you :)

Actually, it works just dandy :) I'm looking for help with standalone Pbuffers so no worries about switching of context. but thanks.
Ok, my problem was I was passing in a RenderTexture object... passing in null for that arg in the Pbuffer contructor ended up solving that problem. So now I have a Swing window showing off some animated lwjgl created content via jME. Cleaning and optimizing ahead, but I'm excited at the results.
