{laugh} Paul, I agree... it does seem like combat. At least Sun seems
to be on our side (willing to listen and try to help). Microsoft on the
other hand seems to take a very defensive position (they want to charge
you for any little bit of help, they will freely admit their bugs and
say "yup it's broke that's the way it is, live with it").
My impression is that the expectations on this list are too high for
Java 3D (ducking for cover as I'm sure the flames will come). 3D is
new, poorly supported and technically complex. It's not going to work
on every system and my guess is that we are still a long way from
universal and easy usage in a web browser.
This is part of why I'm arguing in favor of documentation and
reliability and not new features. Right now anything we write in Java
3D will fail to run or require system updates for a significant portion
of our potential audience.
