Wouldn't this be a good Java3D project. A J3D applet or application which
extends the javadoc app to generate a full recursive 3D map when any JAR is
passed into it.

The 3D map could provide links to HTML javadoc type pages when a class is
clicked on.

Seems the guys at sun might support this, what better way to demonstrate the
power of Java3D than to use it to show it's own guts?

I personally don't have enough experience to tackle this project, but will
help wherever I can.

Thanks
Don

Subject: [JAVA3D] Wanted J3D class heirarchy image


Folks,

I was trawling through the bowels of j3d.org last night and came across
a link to a j3d class heirarchy diagram from Ross Finlayson. The problem
is that the image is

a) old (probably v1.0)
b) corrupted

I'd like to get the thing updated to the current 1.2 specification and
also show it in UML. I was wondering if someone on the list has a decent
code reverse-engineering tool that could produce a set of UML diagrams
of the java3d classes. I've got UML tools here, but the reverse
engineering capabilities leave a _lot_ to be desired.

If anyone is interested in helping me out, please contact me privately
and I'll let you know the details. My wish list consists of the
following:

- Full UML description of the classes as PNG image(s) for the core
package as well as the Vecmath package.
- Optional nicety would be to cover all of the utility APIs.
- The source file in XMI (The XML representation of UML structures)
format would be lovely too! However RR seems to be a fairly common
standard too these days...

The text and other writeups I'll take care of, just would like the
images. Of course credit will be given too.

 a single light or many lights, lights that one must know how to
