Via JOGL or stripped down LWJGL?

It might be nice to also support using the GLSL reference compiler if it's installed on the user's system. It's not only guaranteed* to be correct, but it also often gives more meaningful error messages than GL driver compilers.

Integrating reference compiler might be even easier (than full compiler). Plugin could download it on demand (via hardcoded link to binaries, custom link or custom binary) to a temporary folder (or project folder, or something like that) and execute.
