I am trying to use LWJGL using the Get Started example (from https://www.lwjgl.org/guide {which unaltered works fine}), but altering it so it uses OpenGL ES 3.0 instead (for reasons irrelevant to this question).
I am using the latest LWJGL Release 3.1.1, selecting Minimal OpenGL ES as my preset (from https://www.lwjgl.org/download) and using windows natives. (I am running Windows 10 64bit)
I'm stuck--I'm not sure how to fix it, and get it to run.
The error I get is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no OpenGL ES context current in the current thread.
The complete error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: There is no OpenGL ES context current in the current thread.

Whether it is worth noting... if I uncomment:
import org.lwjgl.opengl.*;
And, change:
GLES.createCapabilities();
And, use the following instead:
GL.createCapabilities();
I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: No GLESCapabilities instance set for the current thread. Possible solutions:
Managed to find a solution (from http://bedroomcoders.co.uk/gles2-0-everywhere-thanks-to-lwjgl3/).
I uncomment:
import org.lwjgl.opengl.*;
Before the glfwCreateWindow function is called in the init() function, added:
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 0);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CLIENT_API, GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API);
And, added the following to end of the init() function:
// Bypasses the default create() method.
Configuration.OPENGLES_EXPLICIT_INIT.set(true);
GLES.create(GL.getFunctionProvider());
This works because it uses org.lwjgl.opengles.GL function addresses instead of org.lwjgl.opengles.GLES. On Windows they use OpenGL native function addresses regardless (with some exceptions).
