I've been working on a Molecular Engineering Tool called Force Field Explorer off and on for a few years now. (http://dasher.wustl.edu/ffe - feedback/critiques are welcomed)
It is runs as desired on WindowsXP, but performance on Linux based systems leaves something to be desired. None of the problems are the fault of Java3D, but can usually be traced to problem with Linux direct rendering and/or specific graphics drivers.
More recently we've had problems in how the Blackdown Linux JRE interacts with changes introduced in the Red Hat 9 distribution (threading and fonts are the usual suspects).
Mainly in an attempt to get around RH9 issues, I'd like to try out IBM's Linux JRE implementation, but the following Java3D call fails:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
sun.awt.X11GraphicsConfig: method getVisual()I not found
at
javax.media.j3d.NativeConfigTemplate3D.getBestConfiguration(NativeConfigTemplate3D.java:89)
at
javax.media.j3d.GraphicsConfigTemplate3D.getBestConfiguration(GraphicsConfigTemplate3D.java:258)
at
java.awt.GraphicsDevice.getBestConfiguration(GraphicsDevice.java:174)Any ideas??
Thanks, Mike
PS, a quick plug for Java3D MacOSX Support!!
