+/**
+ * Adds capabilities to set a shared {@link GLContext} directly or via an {@link GLAutoDrawable}.
+ * <p>
+ * Sharing of server-side OpenGL objects such as buffer objects, e.g. VBOs,
+ * and textures among OpenGL contexts is supported with this interface.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * A <i>master</i> {@link GLContext} is the {@link GLContext} which is created first,
+ * shared {@link GLContext} w/ this master are referred as slave {@link GLContext}
+ * and controls the shared object's lifecycle, i.e. their construction and destruction.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Using the nearest or same {@link GLCapabilitiesImmutable#getVisualID(javax.media.nativewindow.VisualIDHolder.VIDType) visual ID}
+ * or {@link GLCapabilitiesImmutable caps} across the shared {@link GLDrawable}s will yield best compatibility.
+ * </p>
+ * <h5><a name="lifecycle">Lifecycle Considerations</a></h5>
+ * <p>
+ * After shared objects are created on the <i>master</i>, the OpenGL pipeline
+ * might need to be synchronized w/ the <i>slaves</i>, e.g. via {@link GL#glFinish()}.
+ * At least this has been experienced w/ OSX 10.9.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Be aware that the <i>master</i> {@link GLContext} and related resources
+ * <i>shall not</i> be destroyed before it's <i>slave</i> {@link GLContext} instances <i>while they are using them</i>.<br>
+ * Otherwise the OpenGL driver implementation may crash w/ SIGSEGV, since using already destroyed resources,
+ * e.g. OpenGL buffer objects, may not be validated by the driver!<br>
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Either proper lifecycle synchronization is implemented, e.g. by notifying the <i>slaves</i> about the loss of the shared resources,
+ * <i>or</i> the <i>slaves</i> validate whether the resources are still valid.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * To simplify above lifecycle issues, one may use a {@link GLDrawableFactory#createDummyDrawable(javax.media.nativewindow.AbstractGraphicsDevice, boolean, GLCapabilitiesImmutable, GLCapabilitiesChooser) dummy}
+ * {@link GLDrawable} and it's {@link GLContext} as the <i>master</i> of all shared <i>slave</i> {@link GLContext}.
+ * Since this <i>dummy instance</i> does not depend on any native windowing system, it can be controlled easily w/o being <i>in sight</i>.<br>
+ * Below code creates a {@link GLAutoDrawable} based on a <i>dummy GLDrawable</i>:
+ * <pre>
+ // GLProfile and GLCapabilities should be equal across all shared GL drawable/context.
+ final GLCapabilitiesImmutable caps = ... ;
+ final GLProfile glp = caps.getGLProfile();
+ ..
+ final boolean createNewDevice = true; // use 'own' display device!
+ final GLAutoDrawable sharedDrawable = GLDrawableFactory.getFactory(glp).createDummyAutoDrawable(null, createNewDevice, caps, null);
+ sharedDrawable.display(); // triggers GLContext object creation and native realization.
+ ...
+ // Later a shared 'slave' can be created e.g.:
+ GLWindow glad = GLWindow.create(caps); // or any other GLAutoDrawable supporting GLSharedContextSetter
+ glad.setSharedAutoDrawable(sharedDrawable);
+ glad.addGLEventListener(..);
+ glad.setVisible(true); // GLWindow creation ..
+ * </pre>
+ * </p>
