Don,
IBM also have a native compiler. I don't know whether it works with J3D.
I don't think a native compiler will really help with performance though,
but I could be wrong. I'd be interested to see any benchmarks if anyone has
any (general Java and/or J3D).
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Subject: [JAVA3D] Question for the folks at SUN - but im not from sun !
Hi,
Just thought i would point out that cygnus have produced gcj, compile
java source/class files to machine code. It is in the very early
stages, doesn't even have most of the awt. But i suppose this a
similar situation to the java port to linux. i.e. it may take a while
but it will get finished, and i should think at some point it will have
java3D.
But others may know more about this !
