[about as much off topic as "JMF for Linux"]
With respect to "Java3D for Linux": Arcana Ltd.,
the company that till last week provided a very
popular Java OpenGL API and implementations for
JNI, RNI and Netscape's JRI on Linux, Windows,
Mac, and other platforms, has been forced to close
shop.
As Magician was pretty much the basis of the
ARB efforts to create official JavaGL bindings,
this might well set back anybody who wants to
do efficient, performant graphics with Java for
quite some time.
It seems unlikely that Arcana is in a position to
afford an open source release, handing over Magician
to the public domain. Currently, the source and
rights are offered for sale. If you or your company
is using Magician, and wants to see its development
continued, consider contacting them
