The desire for true cross-platform 3D is enough to make me consider using another Java OpenGL API, but therea are too many features in J3D that make things so much easier...

I was told the same thing at GDC this Spring. I think it is unlikely anyone
is going to come right out and explain exactly what the situation is. Maybe
Jobs and McNeil hate each other or something. But it is worrisome to us.
We really would like a shot at the Mac market, since it has been totally
neglected in the online gaming world.

That's what the Sun folks told me last year at Java One 2001. They also
thought it might be ready by the fall (2001), or the end of the year. We
are waiting anxiously for this, since we write educational software for
schools, and schools are asking for Mac-compatible software. Has anything
happened since then, and what is the likelihood that it ever will happen?
Thanks,
Andrea Boright

The technical problem of porting Java3D to OS X is trivial
and was solved long ago. The problem is that Apple and Sun
cannot agree on the license.
