Actually, one of the big announcements on the first day at JavaOne was that Java3D was being open sourced. I'm not sure if the licence is compatible or not, though. I would hope that since LookingGlass is GPLed that it is legally compatible. For details see: https://j3d-core.dev.java.net/

There is no free software implementation of the Java3d apis, afaik. I doint't think there is a free implementation of JAI, yet, either. If you're looking for a nice project ... go for it :) cheers, dalibor topic _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
