I agree. Except that if the Java3D folks were sympathic to this, then maybe the problem
could be addressed in a timely manner in the next release of Java 3D. I suspect that
getting
such a change put in the base JDK might take substantially longer.
BTW. I just checked javax.media.Manager.getSystemTimeBase and the TimeBase it returns
is quantized to 10ms on WinNT in a similar manner to System.currentTimeMillis(). It
has to be said
that even if this did work, I wouldn't really want my Java3D app to have to prereq JMF
anyhow.
Do any of the Sun people on this list have an opinion, or can say whether they think
that this
is a reasonable problem to want addressing ?
