The implementation shall initialize itself as soon as possible, ie if the attached {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeWindow NativeWindow} is become visible. The following protocol shall be satisfied:
Another implementation detail is the drawable reconfiguration. One use case is where a window is being
dragged to another screen with a different pixel configuration, ie {@link GLCapabilities}. The implementation
shall be able to detect such cases in conjunction with the associated {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeWindow NativeWindow}.
For example, AWT's {@link java.awt.Canvas} 's {@link java.awt.Canvas#getGraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()}
is capable to determine a display device change. This is demonstrated within {@link javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas}'s
and NEWT's AWTCanvas {@link javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas#getGraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()}
specialization. Another demonstration is NEWT's {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeWindow NativeWindow}
implementation on the the Windows platform, which utilizes the native platform's MonitorFromWindow(HWND) function.
All OpenGL resources shall be regenerated, while the drawable's {@link GLCapabilities} has
to be choosen again. The following protocol shall be satisfied.
However, to not introduce to much breakage with older applications and because of the situation
mentioned above, the boolean system property jogl.screenchange.action will control the
screen change action as follows:
-Djogl.screenchange.action=false Disable the drawable reconfiguration (the default)
-Djogl.screenchange.action=true Enable the drawable reconfiguration
