I also thought about this one, but there already is a lot of discussion on mixing Sun's AWT/Swing with eclipse's SWT on the news forum eclipse.tools. The summary is: This can today only be done for Windows platform and only with an experimental bridge class available in the eclipse core classes (sorry, don't have the name here, but searching the news archive on www.eclipse.org, will probably reveal it quickly.) On other platforms the way how the OS graphics libraries are loaded through the java.awt package collides with the eclipse SWT packages and will therefore not work.
For now, there seems to be now way to integrate Java3D into eclipse. (Except perhaps, writing an external viewer (extra program and window), which communicates through localhost network connectiion with some controls integrated into eclipse. But I dont think this solution is worth the effort.) cu Ralf =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
