Hmm... from the Xith3d page, it says:
|| Xith3D runs on top of JOGL (Java for OpenGL) or
| LWJGL (Light Weight Java Gaming Library)

Looking at the jogl site https://jogl.dev.java.net/ I see it's BSD 
licensed.
(Also interesting, the jogl site mentions that jogl "integrates with 
the AWT
and Swing widget sets" whatever that means...)
Just curious, has anyone built jogl with GCJ? Is jogl the Java-OpenGL
binding-of-choice?
