Re: [JAVA3D] Future of Java Media

[Yazel, David J.]

I had not heard this.  Is this in reference to the 2D stuff, or is there some danger to the future of Java3d?  Can you post some links?   Dave Yazel -----Original Message----- From: Alejandro Terrazas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 5:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] Future of Java Media Hello--   I have heard from reliable sources that the Java Media APIs are dramatically cutting back and RIFing many talented people. At first this would seem really bad but in thinking about it I know that much opportunity comes out of these situations.   Two things I would like to see discussed are:   1) Can someone at Sun (perhaps Mike Schullman) fill us in on what is happening?  These changes affect all of us and we should not be kept in the dark about the future plans.   2) Any entrepreneurs out there have some ideas of how we can make lemonade out of these lemons?   I would like to wish all of those who lost their jobs the best.  There are many fine people among those and I am sure you will all land on your feet in a big way.   Alex
