Bloody hell, I was starting to master this quite nice API (I amdiscovering 3D also.... ).
Really I thonk java3d is a quite mature API.
I was so frustrated to hear java3D was perhaps not going to evolve any more.
As we say in French "Youpi".
Xith3d can wait .... and the rewrite of my soft also.....

!!!!!!!! :)))
Very, very glad. Big THANKS to Sun!
So, I made right decision not to move on Xith3D.
p.s. Justin, will you take back you words about 'dead Java3D' now ? ;)
