Hey all, Seeing as the Java3D source should hopefully be available very soon -- hope that's still on schedule -- will we finally have some resolution on the deployment issue? Will there be a binary we can have users seamlessly install, or will the new license permit us to create an automatic installer ourselves?
I'm honestly surprised that Sun still hasn't provided automatic installation or atleast a direct download link for Java3D; I mean, it's been how many years now? (I noticed the EULA states you have to distribute the whole thing unmodified, and I've seen posts here noting problems with export regulations -- actually, out of curiosity, I'd really appreciate if somebody could tell me what it is about Java3D that makes it so much more of a problem than the rest of Java.) If deployment is still going to be an issue, does anyone know if there are any alternatives? I looked at JOGL, which runs nicely on OS X, but not on Windows -- too many of the drivers included with Windows only support Direct3D. (Sure, you can usually get OpenGL-accelerated drivers from the manufacturer, but that's not exactly seamless either.) Anyway, I was just hoping I could get some clarification on the matter. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
