Hmm. First, no one from Sun has directly said to my knowledge that Java3D is in a "holding pattern". And it certainly wouldn't be the place of the actual developers (who are on this list), but the managers to make any public comments about Sun's commitment. Even if it is in a holding pattern, I would assume that means "no new versions in the forseeable future", not "no bug fixes for what we've put out there". Our group has a lot vested in Java-based 3D visualization, and I'm sure there are other big customers too. Sun is getting *more* into the gaming/visualization end of the business, so I wouldn't be too concerned about being left high and try on visualization tools and expanding current applications, as this is where they see dollars coming from.
