It was a presentation yesterday, see

http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/sf2003/conf/sessions/display-2472.en.jsp

However, JSR-184 is dedicated to mobile 3d, i.e. cellphones, PDA's, etc.,
not for mainstream PC users.

At the moment, the only *existing* thing, which *is* on the j2se technology
list, it's java3D. Other things were only *announced*, like the new java
gaming platform. I thing there is a big difference between *having*
something and *announcing* your future intent to make something. The
announcements often are made on marketing needs, but it's not always
followed by an action. On the other hand, I don't think that java3d will be
dropped, it will stay for a while, *maybe* tuned for graphics workstation
class applications. *Maybe* for gaming it will be a new 3d technology, a
mixture between the java3d experience and gl4java direct wrapper.

If I were in the position to give advices to the java3d/java gaming
development teams, I would leverage the java3d pure immediate mode/mixed
mode to something closer to gl4java, and expose some of the lower level api.
It doesn't make sense to develop a brand new specification, except you're
doing it for specific marketing purposes.

Kind Regards,

Florin

Did you hear any news about that new media api JSR-184(the one that is a
scenegraph subset of java 3d modified+opengl)?  There is apparently supposed
to be some news about that and I'm wondering if there was anything cool
about that?
