Oops. Anyways, we do here what you all are saying and are trying to
work through the issues. The timing of current events isvery unfortunate,
and I wish nothing but good things for anyone who has worked on Java 3D.

Ian,
I'm afraid I disagree. While Mac support would be great and certainly a
big benefit to Java 3D, I doubt lack of Mac support had much of an
impact on the success of Java 3D.
Fading, on hold, or cancelled support of Java 3D in my opinion is a huge
mistake of Sun's. APIs like Java 3D are criti

Just wondering...
If Sun doesn't want to open source the Java 3D API,
what is stopping them from coming out with an open source
"simple/model" scenegraph renderer based on jogl ?
Someone like Doug T., from what I have heard and known
about him, should be able to slap one together casually.

I would like to take a moment to wonder why Jaav3D seems to be losing
support from Sun... or atleast why support is being directed to other
projects. I can only imagine it is because Java3D has not become as
popular as they had hoped.
IF that is the reason... then all I can wonder is WHY DIDNT JA

I was a member of the Java 3D group at Sun from its inception to the initial
round of layoffs in November 2001. So perhaps I can provide some insight
as to why Java 3D is losing support from Sun.
The reason is because the popularity and performance of Linux and commodity

Very much appreciate it Doug. Extraordinarily comforting
to say the least.
And in general to the list, my humble opinion is that if at
all there was a time to think of doing 3D graphics with Java,
now is probably the best time. Especially so, after all the
public announcements and commitments to 3
No offense taken. The only thing I can offer right now is my
sincerest appologies for this whole process taking so long. I
really do feel for all you developers who have been waiting for
an official answer. My only explanation is that Sun is a big company,

Thanks Paul. Because of where I am at, I can't say anything too public
about what is going on. We are working towards something that should
make the Java 3D development community happy.
