Very much appreciate it Doug. Extraordinarily comforting to say the least. And in general to the list, my humble opinion is that if at all there was a time to think of doing 3D graphics with Java, now is probably the best time. Especially so, after all the public announcements and commitments to 3D graphics from Sun in the past months. In fact, even with the my own ill-founded resignation that Java 3D may not progress, I have been confident that with jogl or, better still, a jogl based SG renderer you could continue to work quite seamlessly with Java. But, of course, this is IMHO...
