Though I'm not very interestet in VRML at the moment I just did a checkout of the 'Initial' version: export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/web3d.org/CVS cvs login ==> guest cvs checkout -P Initial x3d and a quick look over the sources revealed: - all sources in x3d/src/com/sun/.... and x3d/src/vrml/.... look pretty much original, they all have the SUN copyright comment header - NONE of the sources in x3d/src/vrml/.... have any source comment, bare code; only 5% of the source in x3d/src/com/sun/.... have comments, if at all So I suggest you decompile vrml97.jar with the help of JAD, which seems to do an excellent job. Then diff to the Initial revision to extract the comments (and maybe get a hint how heavily the source actually is modified). The diff part might involve some playing with JAD settings and a source formatter on the Initial revision to get the real difference. But the whole job shouldn't be too painfull, the tools will do most work for you. If it turns out, the Initial revision is mostly unmodified, then that would be your starting point, else start with the decompiled stuff to be sure you have the source to the actual jar. The extracted comments should not be much more than 200 lines or so, not really a hard job to put them into the decompiled stuff. And off you go! The really hard part then begins: you promised to maintain it in the future, so don't forget to put it onto sourceforge BEFORE you change anything, fix your bug and then you have to write all the missing comments :-) Hope this helps Georg ___ ___ | + | |__ Georg Rehfeld Woltmanstr. 12 20097 Hamburg |_|_\ |___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49 (40) 23 53 27 10 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
