Hi,  
I’m Shreyansh, a B.Tech student from India. I would like to work on JOGL renderer for processing as a part of my GSoC project. I have worked on OpenGL previously on c++ and java to develop games. I would like to improvise the renderer for processing to make it ready.  
I would like suggestions and guidance to start working on the same.

Processing’s `2D` and `3D` modes already use JOGL bindings.

So instead, it would be an interesting exercise for you (and the community) to contribute to one of the following related problems:

[Modularity of renderers](https://discourse.processing.org/t/modularity-of-core-in-processing-4-jpms/17224), or [LWJGL renderer](https://github.com/codeanticode/processing-lwjgl) (for [processing4](https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Processing-4)).

Thanks for linking in that thread, although this one might be even more relevant. [Main thread task context API (LWJGL)](https://discourse.processing.org/t/main-thread-task-context-api-lwjgl/17226) It’s required to support LWJGL correctly. We have a working fork which still needs some polish.
