<p>An OpenGL plug-in has been developed and is available for download
here. The plugin consists of a library that provides bindings for all
native OpenGL functions, and the classes that facilitate the use of
these bindings for drawing on an SWT Canvas. Note that this plug-in is
purely experimental in nature and is not intended to be part of the
standard SWT distribution.</p>
