The API is full of things that a lot of programmers don�t use. Secondly a large number of java developers probably don�t even know of its existence, if they did then maybe they would find uses for it. It seems SUN keep fairly quiet about it, it is rarely even referenced in a number of java texts that have been written since its deployment.
Like I said though, it was a daft question - I was forgetting that it would affect the portability issues with the JRE. I'm not sure about the size argument, its not that big Ben -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Sylvis Sent: 26 February 2003 19:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Is Java3D going to be end-of-lifed?
