Doc: OpenGL 3.1 .. 3.2 profile clarification
GLX_ARB_create_context: Add 3.2 context WGL_ARB_create_context: Add 3.2 context Add: Trying to use 3.2 core profile creation for GL3, disabled by default. (Disabled per default due to a freezing JVM on Linux _after_ the Java main thread and Hotspot finishes.) Experimental: You may try '3.2 core profile creation' setting the java system property 'jogl.GLContext.3_2'.
