Yes i know - the point being (and bear in mind i don't know very much about 3d stuff, so take anything i say with salt) that if we wanted to display some content natively to firefox using web gl, and than have a java applet as a back up if no native support. (like we do for ogg). the java vrml players were java applets that displayed 3d things, hence i assume they could be used as a backup (I have no idea if thats true or not). The point of it being java is that people wouldn't have to download plugin -Cheers, bawolff. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
