I am trying to achieve better performance for my Java SWT application, and I just found out it is possible to use OpenGL in SWT. It seems there are more than one Java binding for OpenGL. Which one do you prefer?

Note that I have never used OpenGL before, and that the application needs to work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

I'd suggest checking out LWJGL, the LightWeight Java Game Library. It's got OpenGL bindings, but it also has OpenAL bindings and some great tutorials to get you started.

Just keep in mind that Swing/SWT and OpenGL are generally used for entirely different things. You may end up wanting to use a combination of both. Just try LWJGL out and see how well it fits with what you're doing.
