Here's a response that I got from Apple today re Java 3D on Mac OS X.

Re: Java 3D


Hello Omolola,

This is a follow-up email regarding Java 3D for the Mac.

Please know that Apple would like to have Java3D and JAI on Mac OS X in
the future. We are working with Sun to try to bring it over to our
platform. There are currently no announced plans.

In the meantime, there are some alternatives to official Mac OS X
releases of these APIs. Many developers have successfully downloaded the
Unix or Linux versions of these APIs and simply used the jar files
without the accompanying native "performance packs". Developers
interested in Java3D should look at GL4Java, a freeware Java wrapper to
OpenGL, which can be downloaded at the following location:

GL4Java
<http://www.jausoft.com/gl4java.html>

I hope that the above information is of help to you. Please let me know
if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Holt Houser
Apple Developer Connection

BUMP !!
Anyone at sun has something to say about this? I've been waiting almost
two years for this
to happen. Official propaganda at this time was that Apple was working
on it. Well. They do it
eyes shut, and with one finger, or maybe it was a lie.
If it's not planned, please be honest and say it. If there is a problem
with Apple, go on, say it.
We can lobby them. There are tons of people around that would benefit
from having an osx version
of it. Blackdown people could even port their linux version, if their
license permitted them to do so.
(by the way, you at Blackdown, would you do it if your license did
permit you to do that ?)

Non communication is the worst state to resolve problems. Please,
explain what's happening, we might
be of some help.

I know, I know; No comment from Macintosh about Java3D. Although now
that
Java 1.4 is implemented for OSX, maybe Java3D is next?

Any insiders out there have any good news?

Take Care,
Mike
