I can't help you with this utility but I might be able to help you with
your general problem. Take a look at the framework and utilities that
come with the "3D User Interfaces with Java 3D" book. It includes a
very flexible orbit camera and controller, as well as a host of other
picking goodies. You can get the code at www.manning.com/barrilleaux.
Take a look at the J3duiBook/examples/CameraNavigating example, and the
OrbitCamera.java and OrbitCameraControl.java classes (look in the
javadoc or, for the source, under J3duiBook/lib/navigate/).
