Java3d is a portable rendering solution.
MathEngine is a non-portable thing limited to rendering on a single OS :
" The plugin is currently only available for Windows platforms "

Some of us have interactive 3d Java demonstrated on our pages :

Others, including MathEngine and their shrinking partner Avid, don't :

Sun knows about MathEngine, MathEngine has used Java3d :

Java3d is about RENDERING ( with collision detection ).
It's better to keep the mail-list discussions to Java3d, I'm all in favor
of having other packages added to Java : Physics, Kinematics, Animation ...
but " Windows Only " C code ... that's not what this about ...
If they say " Windows only ", walk away -- fast -- they are up to no
good.
Pure Java is portable. Be portable. Be on the Web. Be everywhere.
