Hi,

I just would like to report that running VTK Java wrappers on macOS no longer crashes as long as one use JOGL 2.4.

I have patched JOGL 2.4 so that it can run on Apple M1 and deployed the whole as maven artifacts on Jzy3D Maven repository. The configuration to use can be found [here](https://github.com/jzy3d/jogl-maven-deployer#getting-jogl-24-rc-4-for-macos-bigsur-20211116).

I now get VTK Java wrapper working both on macOS 10.12 and 11.4.

Beside verifying JOGL do not crash anymore on macOS, I have run tests on multiple OS and verified several Java versions as shown below. Tests were made by running Jzy3D applications which also uses JOGL.

I will soon evaluate the stability of JOGL on Java 17.

A recap of all [known remaining bugs in JOGL 2.4](https://github.com/jzy3d/jogl/issues) can be found in the issue list of this mirror repository.

Hi,

The use of Java wrappers with JOGL 2.4-rc4 is demonstrated in this [project](https://github.com/jzy3d/vtk-java-wrapper).

For now, it is mainly a place from which you can download pre-built VTK for Java and active it in maven projects. This should become soon a project allowing to get VTK easily from Maven for all platform. I will notify you when this is ready.
