Perhaps this is why JOGL could be a more sound idea - one that has both the low level API for the game developers yet can have a scenegraph built on top for more visualisation type applications, and one with a more relaxed licensing agreement. Someone else has suggested that Java3D may indeed one day be built on JOGL, this seems to be an excellent arrangement in my eyes. JOGL also appears to be backed by Sun. Not directally created by Sun, but supported by them. This hybrid development environment appeals to me as it means that yes, a major player is pushing for it, but it also means the little guy can have more input and if Sun withdrew support, development could easily continue from where they left off.
