I have heard this request before, but I can't even picture what this means.
Do you mean to put a button or some other Swing component actually in the 3d
scene? or do you mean you are placing the component in the same Swing
container, with the canvas3d underneath the component?
Because you can do neither of these things to my knowledge. Swing is
lightweight and java3d is heavyweight. The closest I have come is to put
swing components in JWindow's and float them above the canvas. You can, of
course, build swing apps where the swing controls to the left, right, above
or below the canvas and that will work. For some things I find I have to
trap the AWT events in the canvas3d and send them back to the top of my
Swing hierarchy to be processed properly (i.e. keystroke events).
