VTK has the features you mention below and has a Java wrapper. I have been
trying to do work with it, granted it is frustrating to work with, and hard
to learn, but the added functionality and speed promise to be worth the
effort.
If there was a working group with a seperate mailing list I would be happy
to participate. (although I'd need more help than I can offer at this time)

Julian,
Below you mentioned Java being too slow for realtime mesh-reduction,
why not user JNI(Java Native Interface)? That way you wouldn't necessarily
have to even change the C code, just write a JNI C wrapper around it. Of
course this cuts down the portability but you'll gain a lot of speed. Also
you mentioned the conversion products, are there any shareware/freeware
versions of these and if so could you share the URLs of any you know.
Thanks.
