I certainly don't oppose JOGL at all. I consider it a potentially
valuable alternative to Java 3D. What is baffling is why Sun would drop
development of Java 3D.
They are pushing on with Java3D for mobile devices. It seems they are
moving some resources where they feel they will get the most bang.
My issue with JOGL is that it's NOT backed by Sun. My understanding of
java.net is that it is hosted by Sun as a place for 3rd Party developers
to gather and share such projects. That's great, but do I want to
invest my time and effort into learning JOGL or basing my products on it
without a big company like Sun driving it forward and trying to maintain
some standards?
The message I got from Doug Terwilliger, who works for Sun, as part
of the Games Tech group, is that they are behind jogl, as that is
important for game development.
Sun is pushing development of jogl, but it will also be driven by
developers, from what I gathered, assuming I am understanding correctly.
