Think of java3d as a really easy way to build scenes, but not far removed
from opengl. Good performance and solid abstraction of the scene graph, but
you still need to build "high level systems". Can easily save you a years
work if you use this than opengl directly. Plus you get portability. But
it isn't a "game system" where they have built all those systems you would
typically get in a game engine. Course it doesn't cost you 50-200k either.
