Coo, can tell I've haven't posted to the list in a while... sorry to
bottom post, here it is in the right place:
The open-source community has already made a start:

All,

Being a new member of this list, this is pretty disheartening news,
to say the least.
On the other hand, this could be an opportunity for the Open Source
community
to lend a hand, working with the folks from Sun who are knowledgeable
about
the 3D packages and go beyond 1.4.
I guess the questions to be asked first would be: Why is Sun putting
this set of
API's on the back burner? Perhaps they see that the basic packages
are there
and are looking for third party or open source folks to fill in the
gaps. Just a hunch.
Perhaps someone from Sun could fill us in.

Thanks.

Just don't hold your breath, it has been said and confirmed by
people from
SUN that java3d is 'in a holding pattern', a number of people have
pointed
out that previous projects that have entered such a holding patern
never
emerge from it. On the other hand it has been said by Doug (i think
it was
doug) that java 3d will emerge, but he can't say when or in what form
because it hadn't been decided, which sounds like it's years away,
when/if
it starts to move again.
