I think the basic reason for this is size- java3d is a large enough download in its own right to put a lot of people off, adding it to the already sizeable JRE install and you get something very heavy that even fewer people are likely to want to download.
I reckon sun should include it in the standard JRE they hand over to Microsoft for installation with all new Windows PCs, though. That would be quite funny. -ben -----Original Message----- From: Ben Logan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 February 2003 15:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Is Java3D going to be end-of-lifed? This might be a perfectly daft question, but why isn't it already included in JRE, is this not likely in the future?
