3. Are there any system requirements for using JOGL?

Yes, JOGL requires a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 or higher. It also requires Java 1.4 or higher and a compatible operating system (such as Windows, Mac OS, or Linux).

4. Can JOGL be used with other Java libraries or frameworks?

Yes, JOGL can be used with other Java libraries and frameworks. It is often used in conjunction with other computer graphics libraries such as JOAL (Java OpenAL) or JMonkeyEngine.

5. Are there any tutorials or resources available for learning how to use JOGL?
