Yup. If size and browser support is an issue, don't use Java 2D and
stick
to the 1.0 and/or 1.1 apis. J2D client support will be less painfull
with
AOLSunMozilla.

Java 3D is for three-dee graphics.
Java 2D is for two-dee graphics.
There's no better or worse comparision here, am I oversimplifying ???
Good luck.
