java - Does it matter what version of GL you use in LWJGL? -

i'm starting go through tutorials on lwjgl @ link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqaymkzy9rq

i noticed tutorials utilize next import

import static org.lwjgl.opengl.gl11.*;

i believe means uses gl 1.1, not newest version of gl. negatives of using version instead using newest? if wanted write own game lwjgl in future, import newest version of opengl? and, should next tutorial if uses old version of gl?

no, not matter newer versions able utilize newer features. can read wiki of opengl see new added. wiki

java opengl lwjgl
